Crazy Spaghetti Dinner

For FHE tonight we had a very interesting spaghetti dinner. Instead of using forks, we had a bowl full of cooking utensils to choose from. We let each of the kids "choose" which utensil they wanted to eat their spaghetti with.
At first, Ella was really mad, and even cleared her dish from the table.
Ella eventually decided it was fun,
and used an ice cream scoop to enjoy her spaghetti.
Abby choose a soft tablespoon,
and did very well scooping her spaghetti.
Kate choose tongs, and slurped and pinched up her spaghetti.
She got the prize for the nosiest eater! :)
Lucy was very patient and ate her dinner with a spatula,
until we let her cheat and use her fingers.
J tried a tiny tong, which left me with the potato masher....thanks a lot!

Dinner was a repeat of a date James and I had as teenagers. We did the same thing, however, Aunt Allie gave us the idea of applying this crazy dinner to the gift of agency.
We talked about agency and the Plan of Happiness.
We also tied in the 2012 Primary theme, "Choose The Right." I found cute CTR plaques that we wrapped up as a gift to the girls to help them remember
to always make good choices.
