Dinner by Jake

I have recently become slightly obsessed with a show on BYU TV called "Food Nanny". It comes on Thursday night and I have the DVR set to record it every week. (We are actually getting Direct TV for free right now-it will be coming to an end soon. I called to cancel it and they said they would give us the basic package free for 3 months because we shouldn't be without any TV...I guess they are hoping after the 3 months we will change our mind and keep it...but any way that is a whole other story...) This extremely perky grandma (she drives Aaron crazy) is on a mission to rescue dinner and she suggests you have theme nights to get everyone excited to be around the dinner table. Thursday is Mexican night and one of Jake's chores on Thursday is to help with dinner. He is loving this idea and was excited to make the whole meal himself (with my supervision). I even taught him how to cut everything with the sharp knives and he is such a pro. We also like to pretend we are doing a cooking show when we cook together. We talk to the audience and have commercial breaks to set the table and everything. It is amazing how much more kiddos will eat when they cooked it. To mark the occasion I had to take pictures...Naturally that was met with some resistance. Just a warning as to why these pictures are so...good.
Jake totally excited to eat the soft tacos he made.

Not sure as to why the sign had to be in the picture...

Jake enjoying his awesome cuisine. Good job Jake-it was delicious!
