A couple of Saturdays ago, Christopher and I planned to roll out of bed, get everyone dressed, and head on over to IHOP to take advantage of their all you can eat pancakes deal for $4.99. Through a series of misunderstandings, this did not happen and we settled at the table around bowls of cereal. But this morning, we revisited the plan, there were no misunderstandings, and we got everyone to IHOP at 9:00. We enjoyed coffee, eggs, hash-browns, and as many pancakes as we could eat (which turned out to be less than four apiece). Robert ate a bowl of oatmeal before we left the house so he had a few bites of my pancakes and then entertained himself with crayons and bouncing around on the bench before eventually slipping and hitting his head on the table. After that, Robert put his finger down the straw hole of his apple juice lid and I had to yank it out for him. Hopefully, the lesson is learned there, unless he is truly his mother’s child in which case he’ll have to stick his finger in several more straw holes before it finally sinks in. Alex was his usual chunky cute self in a high chair. We gave him some Cheerios and Goldfish to munch on, and half of them ended up on the floor. And three times, Alex just decided to bang his head on the table, so he must be his mother’s child, too. Right at 10:00 both boys started to fall apart so we high-tailed it out of there, but by then Christopher and I were both filled to bursting and happy to get away from the enticing pancakes still staring us in the faces. Overall, it was a successful IHOP morning, and we all had a good time as a family. Now Alex is settling down to a morning nap, Robert is enjoying “Woody” yet again, and Christopher and I are taking turns finally getting our showers. It’s so nice to enjoy time with one another in our own home. God is good.
