We Ran Out Of Milk

I’ve been trying to get my kids to try different foods since day one. I made spaghetti squash and hoped that they would at least try it. I’ve made lentils, fish, loads of different kinds of veggies and heaven forbid, something green! But today we experienced a miracle in our house, we ran out of milk! Yes, on Sunday night I sat working on my computer, into the wee hours of the evening I started making school lunches and realized that we were out of milk. What will the children do for their cereal in the morning before school? Meh, I’m too tired to care right now.  And off to bed I went. They’ll have to make toast instead for one day.

 

 

I awoke to silence.

No screaming. No whining. No complaining.

I came downstairs to get them ready for the school bus and almost fell over.

“what did you have for breakfast?” (the big kids feed themselves in the morning)

“cereal! like everyday”

“Oh, really? but we have no milk? what did you put on your cereal?”

“we found some coconut milk in the fridge, it was really good!”

So once I picked myself up from the floor I was so happy that (a) they problem solved without having to come and ask me for help (b) they tried something brand new (c) they liked it!

And then we promptly got a snow storm so I guess by all indications, hell hath frozen over.
