Because there’s nothing like grilling when it’s 35 degrees out

By Moriah on February 24th, 2009

While shopping yesterday, I noticed that country-style pork ribs were on sale and tossed a package into my cart. My dad left today, and I thought it’d be fun to have a not-so-ordinary meal together last night before he went.

And BBQ just sounded good.

Drew thought the fire was quite possibly the coolest thing ever. When they walked in with the food-laden platter, I asked him enthusiastically if it was fun to help papa and he said “I didn’t help, I just watched.”

Ever the realist.

(And no, I don’t know why he’s wearing SANDALS.)

Unfortunately, after dinner, I got hit with a 12-hour stomach bug and that’s all I’m going to say about that. I feel much better today, a little weak perhaps, but my kids all still have coughs. Drew sounds like a baby seal (although, no, I’m not exactly sure what baby seals sound like – I’m using my imagination) and he stayed home from school today.

We haven’t been sick in almost a year, so I suppose we were due.

(And we’re good for another whole year, right?)

Love that he thought it was cool—it’s the little things, right? ;)

We had country ribs on Sunday with baked beans, cornbread, and a caesar salad. Hmmm do you think I’m missing summer just a bit? Sorry to hear that you’ve been sick. I hope you are feeling better!!

Girl…you look so much like your dad!

I can’t believe we were warmer than you were…very odd, huh?

I’m sorry you guys got sick. I hope you’re all back to normal soon!
