The Vultures.

Meet my two little vultures, Charlie and June. If anyone is eating anything they are on the attack. They literally swarm in and devour all food. When Adam works late he will eat dinner after the kids have. By then, they have had a little break and they are ready for round two. They crawl onto his lap and go to town. Adam thinks I don't feed them. I do. They just take after their parents in the "I love to eat" department. Tonight, Charlie was picking off my plate, he kept saying "Can I have a bite mommy... Mmmm, this is a yummy dinner mommy... Can have some more mommy?" He saw that I had some ketchup that got onto my finger while I/we were eating. He grabbed my finger and started licking the ketchup off. I think that might be crossing the line. I will lick my own fingers clean from now on, thank you very much.

He licked your finger?! Hilarious. I always say that food seems to taste better when it comes from mommy's plate. I have a friend that has to hide from her boys in order to eat. That's cute to think of your vultures sitting on Adam's lap chowing.

That is so wonderful that your kids eat! Mine are so picky and I practically have to force feed them (except PB & J and cheese). They hate my cooking! :(

I kind of have something in common with you....only I have one of them. Ben eats every half hour. I can be assured, that if it's been about 20 minutes, he's asking for something else to eat. It drives me crazy!!! I keep thinking I'll slow him down if he doesn't eat and doesn't have much energy, but it only increases the whining for food. Thank goodness he has a fast metabolism, or he'd be as big as our house!!!
