We got the idea when we were down in Pismo Beach and had supper at the "Cracked Crab".
One of their special dishes is "A bucket for Two" which is dumped on your table.
So tonight it was "Bucket Night" at the CZ residence and what fun it was!
We threw together an easy combination of veggies, sausage, fresh bread and dip ...
et voila ...
dinner was on the table
L and I took over the table decorations ... oh so pretty :)
I must be a romantic, I wrote my husbands name in sweat peas AND I added two hearts.
I'll be your mustard if you'll be my ketchup ;)
L's creation
The spread
The rule was NO utensils, no dishes and one MUST make a mess!
Given the fact that the Ls table manners are almost non-existent, this worked out very well.
There was no crying, no fussing and no fits, just a very happy dinner :)
Lulu's creation
Oh and then there was LOTS of LOVE going around of course. L declared "this is the funnest dinner ever" and Lulu just wanted to hold hands and say "we lobe eachodder" :)
Sister-Love
Clean up was quite easy ... everybody was fighting to do the dishes :)
Oh and then we had to have desert., na-course.
Pat and the Ls had brought home a little Chocolate Fondue Set yesterday and it was put to the test tonight ...
Result ...
YUMMM ...
Sweet smile
The closing ceremony was a duet dance by Lulu and her Ariel doll.
Sealed with a kiss ... and off to bed they went.
And if this damn laptop docking station's fan wouldn't make this incredibly loud and VERY annoying sound while I am typing, I could write more about the evening and the fun we had but I already banged that thing 20 times on the table and if I do it a few more times then it'll probably just fall apart right then.
Not that it matters much since its about to die anyways but ...grrrr ... could it just die silently and with more dignity. Nobody wants to hear it moaning and groaning like that. "... some people have to blog; you know!"
Not so hidden message for Pat: FIX IT!!!! ... or it'll need a spot under the Willie Tree soon!
