"Why are we doing this?!?!?!"

Those of you that know my eating habits know that I am not a lover of meat! I am very picky about how my meat is prepared(well, well done--aka burnt) and how it is served to me(already cut on the plate and no sign of a bone anywhere). Being the wife of a man who grew up on a cattle farm and has worked with swine, cattle and poultry since we have been married this is a bit difficult! Over the last 8 years and a few months of marriage he has gotten over it and deals with it! He cuts my meat up when he gets the girls' ready and he helps me decide if I would like something on a menu. Many times during dinner at home, I will just get up and make myself a PBJ and he no longer asks questions or gets upset!

Well............for the last 18 weeks things have changed around here!!!! I have a new outlook on meat--I like it! I am still a bit particular about how it is cooked and how it is served, but I have been eating it a lot more. I am still dreaming about the filet I had at Sullivan's a few weeks ago!!! This brings us to last Thursday morning at 10am. I was in the mood for a sausage patty--not something we keep on hand. What goes best with a sausage patty?!?!?!................pancakes! This is when the thought of breakfast for dinner came about. A text to Justin and a quick trip to Kroger, and we were set for Brinner(breakfast/dinner)!

I thought it would be fun to eat in our jammies, so at 5:00 the girls got in the bath and enjoyed some "swimming" time. "Why are we doing this?!?!?!!?" Once Justin got home he got in his pjs and so did I. "Why are you doing this?!?!!?" Brinner was prepared(eggs, pancakes, sausage and strawberries) and we sat down to eat. "Why are we doing this?!?!?!?!" After the dishes were put in the washer we didn't have much to do since bath was already taken care of. We decided to make a big bed on the floor and watch Survivor and American Idol. "Why are we doing this?!?!?!" We all enjoyed watching Russell get sent home and the girls had a dance party.

It was a great night of unique family fun that we hadn't done before. If you haven't guessed who all the questions were from...........it was Kaylee. I guess we don't stray too far from our nightly routine and she was a bit confused why were doing things so differently. I think Brinner will start to be part of night adventures.

Life is Good!!!!............so are sausage patties!!!!!
