Grace asked if we could have a Hawaiian Dinner tonight. She wanted to wear her new lei and flower barrette. She even invited her Nana to stay for dinner (Nana was watching the kids while Terry and I had a meeting today).
So we went to Petty's and bought their Polynesian Chicken stir fry, which happened to be on sale. We cooked Carribbean Rice (out of a box) and made salads with fresh veggies from the garden. I wore a "fancy" dress for the occasion, which met with Grace's approval. We also used the kids' brightly colored plates for the occasion.
My mom helped the kids make hula costumes out of garbage bags. AJ especially liked dancing in his, "like a cowboy", he says.
We finished the evening with strawberry shortcake. Grace sliced the strawberries, spooned them into the shortcakes and learned how to work the whipped cream can. Fun stuff! She taste tested everything, too.
