I DON'T LIKE SAUCE!!!!

I totally took pictures of the other two, but this one needs to stand alone. Hilarious. Here is what our night was like last night.

First, Sarah refused to eat anyways... finally she ate something, and when I got up from the table to check the cupcakes that I was baking the exorcist happened. Amongst all of my children, and my husband also. I've become a pro at ignoring, so whatever... I was all zen ninja in the kitchen, and then I hear "Sarah Elizabeth! You sit down right now!" And an odd splashing sound. She had poured my entire cup of water into the entire pot of spaghetti sauce. After administering justice... I mean, discipline....she was brought back to the table, and instructed to finish eating her food, because she screamed for more, and now has to eat it. (We don't normally force our kids to finish their food, except when they insist on taking a LARGE amount and then not even taking one bite.) And also her sauce, because, lets face it, thats the healthy part of the noodles... She took a bite of her noodles, chewed them up, and SPIT them directly into the already ruined pot of sauce, that I was going to freeze and thicken later. (I hate wasting. I know its cliche, but there are people in other parts of the world who are starving. I will not ever take for granted the fact that I have food in my stomache anytime I want it. We eat everything, even if we think its gross or simply don't feel like having leftovers...) So, justice (I mean, discipline) Was once again administered, and she was once again instructed to finish her food. She chose to leave it there and go play, until it really sank in that she was either going to eat that when all the rest of us tasted the cupcakes with chocolate frosting, or have it for breakfast the next day. (By the way. I still saved that sauce. I'm not kidding. I hate wasting. All the germs will cook out of it when I boil it for 5 minutes... just, if you come to my house for spaghetti in the next couple of weeks, know that its probably the spit spaghetti, and you might want to eat before hand.)
