Chopstick Masters

Saturday evening the fam and our friend Trenton went to Mio Sushi on Hawthorne in Portland. Dug and I have decided not to be the kind of parents that only do the fun stuff when our kids aren't around. We had the kids in Portland, sushi was calling, we answered! Since we make it at home at least once a month, it wasn't that different for the kids, anyway. We have chopsticks at home that we use almost everytime we eat anything Asian so the kids have had a bit of practice. Mio Sushi makes "starter" chopsticks for the kids with rubberbands and scraps of paper. They loved it.

Dodge, throwing down a piece of that Terriyaki chicken. Don't you love those bento boxes the kids meals came in? The meal was huge. Rice, salad, chicken and two california rolls. Luckily, we bought only two for the four to share.

Tank didn't want to mess with no "baby" chopsticks. He wanted to eat like a man. So he ripped off the rubberband and pretty much stuffed his face with his hands.

Last, we have Scoochy. She's delicately eating some chicken. Don't let her demeanor fool you though. That little bowl of soy sauce in the middle has wasabi in it. Yep, she's our spice child.

Princess Cutie Pops somehow was missed in every picture. Still not sure how that happened. But, it all evens out. She got her own post yesterday.
