So the Jenson's have some fun (and a little weird) traditions that we have decided to carry on...one being a "crazy Spaghetti Dinner".
First, Mom and Dad have to get bags of "stuff" together for each person to use to eat-no real utensils allowed! Each bag is given a number. Then, after everyone get their stylish newspaper bib-like-thingies on, each person picks a nimber to see which bag they get.
I got to eat spaghetti from a Tupperware lid using a ladle.

Brandon had to eat from a glass pot lid with tongs.

...and Julia had an egg separater and the lining of a lunch bag.
AJ was nice enough to let her borrow the wooden spoon when she had given up on the egg separater. :)
Drinking can also be a challenge...

-I had a vase (which would have been pretty easy except for the scalloped edge on top, water kept escaping!!)
-AJ had a measuring cup
-Brandon had an ice cube tray (which prooved to be the trickiest)
-And Julia was quite amused that she got a bottle!
It was a really fun event, but we all had a little cleaning up to do after! But, it was all worth it!!
If nothing else, a face like that makes it all worth it-That is true munchkin joy!!! :)
YAY for silly but memorable family traditions!

It does look like you had fun! I remember doning things like this in YW's back in Newport, so it also brings about memories.
