Not that we don't try.....really, we do.
At least I do.
I do the whole June Cleaver thing (with apron, thank you) and I set the table and make a nice meal...blah, blah, blah...
Everyone comes to the table with good intentions.....in fact, we start out with the normal banter of "how was your day?" and "what do we have going on the rest of the week?"
But eventually SOMEONE messes with the dinner mojo.
SOMEONE tells a body function joke or something else BAD.
And then SOMEONE jumps up and turns "dinner" into "dinner theater".....ah....like this. warning: the photos you are about to see are not for the weak of heart. Just sayin'
girl child doing her hick impression with corn teeth....sooooooo flattering.
That old cold sore just adds a bit of how you say...
Je ne sais quoi...?
trying a different look...a bit like Igor from the old black and white movies I used to watch.....but this is down right creepy.
and then to finish up, nothing quite like "dinner and a dance, right?"
Now, don't think boy child was left out.
He got up and did his OWN hee-haw rendition but he was old enough to know not to let me take photos.
Girl child hasn't hit that age yet....but I bet she'll PAY me to remove this post one day in the not too distant future....

Oh I'm so glad!! I thought it was only my family!!! Caleb had a little friend (girl) over for dinner and he said, "Now do you see why I never have anyone over." I thought it went well for us--no food was thrown!

Hee-haw! Family dinners should be fun, not all pomp and circumstance. Happy belated birthday to Mojo who is just the cutest pup ever! You sure have been busy crafting up all sorts of wonderful things. Hope you have a great weekend. Best wishes, Tammy
Too funny! Sounds like a great time!
Love it! My boys are grown and gone but we had similar dinners when they lived at home - and some times when the return to visit! Enjoy because it goes away WAAAAAYYY too quickly!
I want to come to one of your family dinners...it just looks like fun to me......
