Pre-teen challenges - part deux

So we finally made it to the Matsuri Festival, which was nothing to sneeze at unfortunately, and despite the rocky start, we ended up having a fairly decent family-day.  Emma even admitted that she was glad she didn't wear black - she would have been too hot.  Score 1 point for mom & dad.

Unfortunately, we ended up having the same argument the next day; loose 1 point for mom & dad... Thank God we won't have to go through this stuff twice.  We may have our challenges with Ronnie but at least she doesn't disagree with what we want her to wear.  We just have to fight her into her clothes... I swear, dressing Ronnie is an extreme sport on some days.  Fun but then everyone starts to sweat and she just laughs....

So after my first post, I ended up thinking about vegetarianism and realized that tho BBQ season is great for the carnivores in our house it is not so great for the herbivores.  Brian and Ronnie end up eating soya sausauges or vege burgers most of the time while we eat a good meal.  I do worry that they aren't getting the proper nutrition/vitamin quotient (even tho they are taking multi-vitamins).  The good news is that Brian has not had a relapse of his gout since he turned herbivore.  What to do, what to do, what to do...

Til next time.
