There is a scene in the TV show Growing Pains, toward the end of the series, where Chrissy is mad she has to go to bed and all the older kids get to stay up. There is a part where she imagines that everyone is having fun but her, and she stomps down the stairs and yells at everyone, "Wait until Chrissy goes to bed, then party, party, party!"
It reminded me of what our family did this morning.
This morning AJ was staying home from work but took Emmaline to school anyway as he usually does. When he got home, we were sitting around chatting and suddenly I had a brilliant idea - we should go to breakfast! It is something we never get to do simply because either:
1) mornings are hectic
2) AJ has to get to work
3) Emmaline has to go to school
4) Emmaline is allergic to breakfast things like dairy and eggs
I realized that only two of the four things was true this morning - Emmaline had to go to school and she still has food allergies. And as luck would have it, that is perfect for the rest of us!
Within ten minutes of the idea, we were in the car and pulling out of the garage. We went to a restaurant called The Egg and I and enjoyed every bite. Lil and Idige had already had breakfast once so this was second breakfast for them. They didn't eat much but still had fun.
Just don't go telling Emmaline about it. It's the type of thing childhood scars are made out of.

This reminds me of what happens sometimes when Abby gets out of bed and comes into the living room at night to find us pigging out on dessert, drinking soda and watching movies...stuff like that. Her eyes get big with that "so this is what you guys do when we go to bed?!?"
And don't worry--we will keep your secret about breakfast. Now that Abby is in school we do lots of things that we keep on the down-low too! :)
