The Daintys

Some days feel like we go from one disaster to another! Minor disasters of course, but it's like living in a wind tunnel! Fortunately, I can usually chuckle at the antics of our little kooks. Also, I am not attached to any of our possessions as they likely be covered in crayon or broken soon. Here are things I have said this morning: -Please do not put chapstick on the dog. -Don't wipe your hands on your brother's head. -No, we are not sending daddy a picture of your dirty diaper. -NO MAPLE SYRUP IN THE CAR! Never ever. -Please stop stealing my quarters. -Why are all these clean clothes in the bathtub?? -Leave your stitches alone!! x50 (Wyatt fell off a chair and won the "First Kid to Get Stitches Award" this weekend.) -Nope we are not having fruit snacks for breakfast. -Who put all these fruit snack packs in the toilet? Now no one gets to eat them after lunch. And it's only 9am!  :)

We competed in the second annual Dainty Family New Year's Chopped! A competition we modeled off the food network show Chopped. We each shop for 3 ingredients for either an appetizer, entree, or dessert. Then, you draw which basket you will have to prepare. Ryan has won twice, but he went down this year to Yours Truly! We had some interesting ingredients this year including cheddar biscuit mix, farro, dandelion greens, buddah's hand, Doritos, and circus peanuts! Yikes! Somehow, everything we ate was pretty darn delicious! Leah made a starfruit icecream for example. We were very full by the end of the day and had so much fun. Happy New Year's!
