Granny's spaghetti dinner is a very exciting night in our house. For everyone involved. Yates usually eats seconds, thirds and sometimes even fourths. Coach waits very (im)patiently at the foot of his highchair for at least a bite or two. And Mama gets to clean up the mess... or disaster that is created. To say that spaghetti gets everywhere is an understatement- but really that is just a testament as to how good it is and how quickly it gets shoveled into bellies. I used to be that Mama that would quickly give the kids a bath, scrub down the floors, and get anxiety just thinking about the fact that spaghetti would create hours worth of cleaning- but I am learning to embrace the moment and realize that a kid with a spaghetti stained mouth is pretty darn cute, and a four legged vacuum cleaner does a pretty good job helping me clean up.
A messy spaghetti night is worth it, and especially since it is cooked with Granny's love.
As always, love your photos! My girls love spaghetti too, but I have a very love/hate relationship with it... spaghetti night ALWAYS equal bath night ;-)
