Whole 30: Day 22


Breakfast:  Another salad.  Leftover brussel sprouts and coconut chicken.  This is the first time I have bought swiss chard.  I like it so much better than lettuce!



Lunch: Cream of broccoli soup.  This is a recipe my mom sent me.  It has carrots, celery, broccoli, sweet potatoes, and the "creamy" texture comes from cashews blended into vegetable stock (but I used chicken stock).  I break up sweet potato chips into it.  Everyone loves it but Lincoln, who would not even try it.   


 


We also had pickles, plums, and a chocolate chia seed cookie.  Ami and the kiddos were over for a play date.  We put them in boxes and left them to fend for themselves.
  



Just kidding.  Lincoln was a pretty grumpy pill, though, and to be honest I did take him straight up to his room when they left, and shut the door.  To my surprise and relief, ten minutes later he came out with a more neutralized demeanor.  That kid really drains me sometimes.


Dinner:  Another salad.  Pretty much the same thing as my breakfast, but I was all out of brussel sprouts.  Sigh.  

Thoughts: Is spring really here yet?  Yesterday it sure felt like it!  We saw the sun, felt the warmth, and ushered the munchkins outside to play with our like-minded neighbors.  I hadn't seen some of them for months.

Ezra rode a balance bike for the first time.  I was amazed at how quickly he got the hang of it!  






Just look at them!  They are really kids now.  Not babies.  It gets easier and harder, which I guess is the way it always will be.  Within change, there is consistency.
