They're Strong to the Finish

 . . . 'cos they ate their spinach!!

I can't believe it, but I got the kids to eat--and enjoy!!--spinach.  I'm realizing that as long as I make questionable vegetables, like last week's green beans, a tad soy-saucey, they'll eat them.  Sis had two servings!!

It's all part of our attempt to increase our consumption of fruits and vegetables.  We try to mark off as many letters of H-E-A-L-T-H as we can each day, aiming at least for the "L."  It's almost a game.  And so far, we're winning.
