Breakfast at 10... p.m.

Sometimes it is good to do something

different.

As Natalie and I were sitting together yesterday

afternoon, watching The Waltons with the

family, we exchanged a look of

hunger at the yummy

breakfast Mrs. Walton was feeding her

brood.

"That sounds amazing, doesn't it?"

So we decided, then and there,

that tonight we would do something

different.

And it was easy to convince Jessica to

join us.

That evening, Nat and I ran to

Dollar General across the

street five minutes before

closing to get 

Orange Juice, then,

after all of the "littles" had

gone to bed,

we three older girls

set about the

kitchen.

We decided on the following

menu:

Scrambled Cheesy Eggs

Turkey Bacon

Biscuits with Butter and Jam

Orange Juice

Coffee

Jessie took charge of the eggs.

She made enough to feed an

army...

or at least three crazy girls.

(And their Mom who got

excited and decided to

join them!)

We cranked up the

music,

grateful that the kids sleep

upstairs,

and danced around the

hardwood floors,

laughing and

cooking.

I was in charge of the

biscuits.

My favorite recipe:

Bisquick and

Milk.

Very complicated,

I know, but

well worth it!

Just as a side note...

and totally unrelated to

cooking breakfast at

night:

Fuzzy socks are either very

fun or quite

hazardous on

slick floors.

While the

biscuits were baking,

I also heated water for our

coffee.

Coffee-bag singles are

wonderful when you

don't want to

dirty the

coffee pot.

:-)

Natalie and Jessica took

turns with the

bacon and watching

Bekah

(who loved being wide

awake last night).

We also took turns with the

camera...

demonstrating our skill with

photography and our

natural loveliness.

:-P

Goofing off with siblings is so much fun...

"Open your mouth and

close your eyes!

You'll get a great

surprise!"

No... I didn't

feed the batter to

her.

Bekah looks like she would

try it though.

The eggs... ready to

serve!

Biscuits... yummy!

The jam was

homemade too!

The finished product

spread on a quilt

covering the

bolsters in the

living room.

The rest of the

evening consisted of

eating yummy food,

drinking a lot of

OJ and

coffee, and

watching a

movie.

Amazingly fun time!

Great memories!

I highly recommend having

breakfast at

10pm!

May God bless your weekend!
