topping our list of favorite foods...
barbecued ribs!
baked or grilled, the boys all love them.
emmett recently refused to eat any meat
that didn't have a bone.

ahhhh.

living the life of a boy mom.

(my new favorite phrase, by the way.
coined by the newest member of the club...)

Well, who wouldn't want to gnaw on a bone AND get extremely messy in the process? How do you make said ribs? Or where do you buy them?
