30 Things in 30 Days: Thing #2—Eat Breakfast for Dinner

I know it looks like we just woke up, but we've actually been awake all day, writing papers. *sigh*
Also, our baby is eating a toucan.
Dave's Mom is visiting us this week, and she came up with the great idea of eating breakfast for dinner. To make this awesome thing even more awesome, we dressed up in our pajamas several hours early. Hollie kept refusing to go to sleep, so we let her stay up and play in her high chair with us.

Our Awesome Dinner-Breakfast:

Texas Pecan-Filled Waffles with 100% Grade A Maple Syrup
Sugared Strawberries, Raspberries, and Blackberries with half-frozen Cool Whip
Scrambled Eggs
Bacon Strips and Sausage Rounds
Orange Juice
Evidence that David really was wearing his pjs and not just a blue shirt.

It was a breakfast to rival Christmas mornings.

It takes a real foodie to show off their waffles by picking them up with their bare hands.
Now it is back to the books so that we can have time for another Awesome Thing tomorrow.

Thing #2 = ACCOMPLISHED. Thanks Momma Grover for wearing your pajamas at 6:30 p.m. with us!

P.S. I promise that not every Awesome Thing will consist of eating something. However, given the old adage that "You are what you eat," it should not be surprising that this Grover family fills up on so much awesomeness.

Pronoun-antecedent agreement issue.

30 Snooty Comments on Em's Blog in 30 Days #2: Accomplished!

Ya'll fit in just great in Texas eatin' in yer pajamas at 6:30pm. LOL.. When I used to do appraisals in Houston, I stopped being surprised when people answered the door in their pjs in the middle of the day. So I think you should consider doing another very "Texas" thing and having a small party in your garage. That's what screams Texas to me.. Sitting in the garage (door opened of course) sippin' on a beverage and shootin' the breeze.. THAT is so Texas!

I knew you were going to comment on that. I thought about going in and changing "foodie" to the plural "takes real foodies," but then I figured no one cares anyway. No one but DAVID: My ARCH NEMESIS...erm...I mean, MY HUSBAND.

Daniela, absolutely we would do that...if we had a garage. But I'm sure sitting around on lawn chairs in our front "yard" (read: patches of dried up crab-grass surrounded by anthills) would have a similar effect.

I feel like I need to move in.

Hollie eating a toucan is about the cutest thing I've ever seen. I didn't know wearing your pj's all day and hanging out in your garage was a "Texas" thing. Another reason I'll never leave. :)

I am jealous of the fruit you are always eating.
