Oh, well....

I took a picture of my kids lunch today on the off chance that making a rainbow of my kids veggies might actually help Phin desire them, after all making faces with fruit worked like a charm.  I could have written an eloquent and inspiring blog post about how putting in just a tiny bit of extra effort paid off.  Yes, that was the dream in my little head.  Here is what actually occurred:

I happily presented my cute plate to my children.  A rainbow was made of peppers and snap peas and the strawberry was cut into a heart;  it was a symbol of my love poured onto a plate (pause here to vomit at the artificial sentiment).  Ava said, "Mom, were you trying to make a rainbow?  If you want a rainbow, you need something blue."  Phin said with a large smile and in sing songy voice, "You can't trick me mom, I know that rainbow is really "vegkibbels" and I don't eat "vegkibbels."  Chloe didn't say a word.  She picked up her plate, threw it on the floor (the FRESHLY mopped this very morning floor) and said, "Ah done."

Back to the drawing board....perhaps I could package it in a little box and throw in a cheap toy?
