Times when you need your camera and, gulp, don't have it

Tonight my husband and I took our son out to dinner. He's 14-months old and LOVES spaghetti. But not just any type of spaghetti, it has to be from Bambinelli's in Northlake. He can polish off a plate. But, only about half makes it in his mouth ...the other half is in his bib, his hair, the floor, the highchair, between every finger, in his ears, on me, my face and arms. We look like we are going into battle with the protection and blessing of marinara sauce. A perfect picture and a photographer without a camera. I guess this one will have to remain a mental picture.
