The Magic of Candlelight
I have a theory that people behave better when there is candlelight. At least, I believe that is true for my children. But just in case, we went with 8 candles on the table for Julie's birthday this weekend. And everyone was very well behaved (at least as much as could be expected).
Julie commented that I should take a page from Jennie, and feature an "on the table tonight" because dinner was smashing. We had this mustard and red grape chicken, with parmesan risotto, a green salad, and the piece de resistance - Aunt Hilda's popcorn cake. Popcorn, Marshmallow, M&Ms and Almonds. You should have come over!

They behave better right up until they start dipping their fingers in the wax and then leave wax droppings all over the house.

Yea, well I am a slovenly housekeeper, so as long as no one is yelling I can overlook a little wax on the carpet.
