Lobster Racing


I just read in World magazine that the price of Lobster is ridiculously low right now. I can testify to that as in the past 9 years of marriage my husband has bought me lobster twice. Last year for my birthday and this summer because it is cheap. This time was fun because the boys joined us for this uncommon occurrence and were able to try their first bites of the crustacean. Actually, I think the real appeal to eating Lobster for dinner is that for once mom allows you to play with your food.



We started out our dinner with Lobster Races. The lobsters weren't very interested in humoring us and in the end Alfred won because he was the only one actually moving (even though he was going backward). George (that's "Gay-Org"), was disqualified because Elijah picked him up and landed him in front of the others. After the unsuccessful race we tried to see if they would move faster in the water. So the boys placed them in the pool, but they must not have liked that because they didn't move any faster.



All in all, it was a fun evening of playing with Lobsters and devouring a lot of butter!

I love how Elijah names everything "Gay-Org" right now. Where did he get that from?? You are such a fun mom, Lori!
