I love snack dinner. We call it antipasti; lots of different meats, cheese, pic less and some chick peas. Mister 4.5 loves it and it suits our weater at the monent (in Perth Australia - been about 35 degrees (98F) for the past 8 weeks... I try not to say no without a reason. That way after he reasons the same question 20 times we can have fun with answers and the inevitable compromise. And as far as sand... I think my son is recreating shares hank redemption with the amount of sand that comes home in shoes, pockets. Love these and the scrumptious pic of Hank at the end.

I remember my Nana letting me pick any cereal I wanted at the grocery store when I stayed with her (it was always Cheerios and Chex at home), my mom taking me to the library, my dad giving me a hammer, nails, and a little piece of wood and letting me hammer away, having nachos and smoothies for Sunday night dinner, playing dominoes with my grandparents...I think those kind of things matter more than big expensive things.

This includes "snacky supper--cheese, crackers, crudites, nuts, hummus, etc.--reading together or a dance party. Maybe even supper out together. I've been trying hard to say "yes" to more reasonable requests, much like you're "Why not?" I think it's made a difference, especially to my own mindset.
