So, our anniversary fell on a Sunday this year. I can't even remember what we had for dinner, but we knew we wanted banana boats for dessert! The kids all worked together getting the wood for a fire, including the branches that fell in our yard from the neighbor's house...
Totally NOT staged! Andy was trying to get it lit, and everyone needed to make sure it happened!
This little guy was on a roll...no nap and ornery as could be! Wait, I think we had something with our squash, zucchini, onion medley, and he did NOT want to eat it. Well, veggies must be consumed my little friend...
Getting the eggs. For some reason our chickens don't lay their eggs first thing in the morning; it's typically throughout the day and they are done by about 4pm...
Well, one little 2 year old found out that he was NOT going to get a banana boat with everyone else until he ate a veggie or two, and that mom was really serious about it - despite the fact he had been warned many many many many many times. (Mitchell is still under the impression that if he closes or covers his eyes, we can't see him.)
Emily was the magician - she got him to eat those vegetables and then helped him create his yummy dessert and helped him put it in the oven!
So excited!!!
Banana Boat - slice a wedge out of the banana, spread it out, toss in some walnuts, chocolate chips, and a few marshmallows (unless you are like Andy and add some peanut butter too). Wrap up in aluminum foil, toss in the coals for a few minutes, then open to brown the tops of the yummy sugary-goodness...Cool slightly and devour!
I may or may not have perfected this method in the oven...oh, yes, and happy anniversary to my Andy! Thanks for the flowers and planning in advance!!! I love you more than yesterday but not as much as tomorrow!!!
