Ben (as has been mentioned) is working A LOT these days. He loves his job, but being the newest guy there, he has to work the longest hours. So most nights he doesn't make it home in time for dinner with us. With his parents being gone this week, it's been just me and the kids.
Now, I love cooking. But when it's just me and 2 pretty picky eaters cooking becomes more of a chore than fun. That was the dilemma that faced me last night. As I was looking through the refrigerator and cupboards, I remembered the bag of left over pancakes sitting in the freezer. And the bacon I just bought....and eggs......"Hey kids! Who wants breakfast for dinner?" Hoorays and excitement all around! I LOVE breakfast food. I would rather go out for breakfast than for dinner. Sadly I married a man with very little use for breakfast. And he told me very early in our marriage that his absolute least favorite meal is breakfast for dinner.
So while we missed him last night, I had 2 very happy children and we all enjoyed our dinner (a rarity these days!). May as well make the most of things you can't change, right?

Smart idea, Kathy! We love breakfast for dinner too:) Mmmm! Also, when Shelby's away, I eat pickles. It's his least favorite food and he usually doesn't like to kiss me with pickle breath. Fair game!
