Another Week Project: Eating At The Dinner Table.

This probably shouldn't be a project but it is.  We ALWAYS eat in front of the TV. One of my best friends told me her and her husband always eat at the dinner table with the TV off. They even do candle light dinners every night! How romantic! I think it's a great idea and it makes you communicate more. Not saying we don't communicate because we do, but the few times we've done that, I noticed we did communicate a lot more than we usually do at dinner. I'd actually like to make this a habit but I am guilty of putting our food on the coffee table LOL. The TV is very distracting and before I know it I realize we barely said anything to each other!

Monday & Tuesday 
Tacos with ground turkey and whole wheat tortillas

I'm surprised how much catching up we did! I can say that if we didn't do that, we wouldn't have talked as much LOL.  But since you might be bored about what we talk about I'll just post our dinner every night this week at the table. Pictures are more entertaining.

Wednesday

Stir fry with marinated chicken and rice

 

Thursday

 

Spaghetti with Ground Turkey and Whole Wheat Pasta

 

 

Friday & Saturday didn't happen. We were both out Friday and Saturday we made an exception eating at the coffee table because, well.. It was Saturday and it was a dinner and a movie thing. Oh and it was left over spaghetti!

 

What did I learn?

- Oliver doesn't mind eating at the table from now on.

- I really appreciate that when I don't do the dishes, Oliver will. I noticed dishes get done a lot quicker after eating at the dinner table!

-We communicate a lot more. Which was the goal so I'm happy to say this worked out! Sometimes, we forget to tell each other things because we're distracted, and this helped with that.

I'd be happy if most nights we were at the table.
