Now I am sure this is not a novel idea and a million people probably thought it up before, but I just got that bright bulb today!!! I have noticed in magazines ideas to get kids to eat healthier. Make it fun looking. My children are awful eaters! Picky picky picky. Picky about it's color, shape, size, smell, you name it. Being that I need to go grocery shopping and having basically empty cabinets....this is what I did....Thomas's 100 Calorie Mini Bagels (I don't NOT count my kids calories, just an FYI to calorie conscious adults)
Peanut Butter (Creamy, but I suppose Chunky would work to if your into that kinda thing)
Sliced Banana (design according to your imagination...or the size of the bagel :-)
They loved it!!! Ate every last little bit. That never happens.....score one for Mom's side! (That never happens either...lol)
We also have a new addition to the McElwain Family Challenge. Our big fat Beagle Roxy. She weighed in at 42.6lbs last night (don't ask the process to get the weight). She is supposed to weigh 25lbs. Yikes! (Not for nothing though, she was over 49lbs at one point so we must be doing something right) Well, she is now on a no carb diet. Apparently Beagles have a hard time digesting carbs...hence her massive girth. Nice of someone to tell us that now. We have only had the dog on diet food for 3 years and couldn't figure out why she wasn't losing.....so she started that on Wednesday and we'll see how she goes......
I have some other artworks coming. I have like 50 projects going at once today. It was great! The best part is I finished them all! Then I have a whole new list for tomorrow...keep on keeping on.....

Jackie, I've been feeding my girls (you know, the dogs) homemade dog food for a couple of months now and piggy old kesia is as slim as a pretty young thing again! They love it and kesia's chronic cough and zoe's chronic skin allergies are G.O.N.E.
This is what I make them - I big pot of brown rice (1/3 of the food) 1/3 parts ground meat/poultry and 1/3 part veggies (green beans, peas, carrots, squash, parsley, celery, etc - I get the big economy frozen veggies) and I put in a little bit of garlic. Their coats look fab. You can mix in a raw egg every once in awhile too. Oh and they get omega 3 oils and glucosamine for their joints. It's a little bit of work once a week, but the dogs are both looking and acting 5 years younger. It's worth it!
