Morning Treats

So we had to take my mom to work because she couldn’t make it to the bus stop in five minutes and because she couldn’t wait another seven to ten minutes for the next bus to come because it meant she would end up at work fifteen minutes later, which means she would get off fifteen minutes later, and she’d be walking to pick the girls up at like 5PM, really earlier, and obviously the sun goes down at 5 in the summer time, so it was best that I woke the kids and put them in their carseats in the pjs so Oma wouldn’t have to walk home in the dark.

On the way back home, I was feeling munchy for McD’s.  (Really, is there any place better in the world?)  I ordered breakfast for myself and Jory, the always awesome hotcakes and sausage, and hash browns for the girls, who eat at school.  We got home and couldn’t find the remote.  So we sat on the rug in the family room in a circle and just sat and ate together.  Our own little early morning picnic.  It was perfect and Rowan happily proved to me that maybe, just maybe she was big girl enough to start getting condiments on her food.  Not one licking of the ketchup.  My big girl is getting bigger.  What a great early morning treat.
