The dinner rush

Dinner is a crazy time in my house. I don’t get home from work until 5:45, so to get dinner on the table, the family fed, the baby bathed and in bed by 8:00 can be a challenge. I’ll admit, there are plenty of nights when I breathe a sigh of relief when I can sit on the couch with my ice cream and watch Dancing with the Stars with nothing but the quiet hum of the baby monitor to distract me.

So I especially enjoy nights like last night, when, with little fresh food in the house, we opted for breakfast for dinner, a yummy treat that quick and easy to get on the table. And instead of heading straight for the bath afterward, my son and husband and I headed outside to enjoy the calm of dusk and see how many caterpillars we could find. (Answer: lots). Sure, my son went to sleep with strawberry juice on his chin, but if he doesn’t mind, neither do I. Hearing him giggle and try to “tickle” the caterpillars is a memory I won’t soon forget.
