Breakfast For Dinner

Today was pretty low key.  We had plans to meet Dianna and Maggie at McDonald's for lunch and some play time. Unfortunately, Lydia got sick last night, so Dianna couldn't make it. Boo.  But Maggie and I still went with the kids and spent two and a half hours gossiping and trying to keep my kids from watching Tom and Jerry on the TV in the play land. We suggested they act out Tom and Jerry instead by chasing each other through the tubes. This seemed like a good idea until Austin grabbed onto Owen and swung him into a wall. Yeah...lesson learned by us mommies. I think next time we will have them act out a less violent cartoon.

After leaving McDonald's, the kids and I went to Wal-Mart to get some Super Bowl supplies and then we headed home. Paul has Snowboard/Ski Club tonight, so I decided to do breakfast for dinner rather than cook.  And yet, again, time slipped away from us, and I didn't get a chance to make those damn cookies!!!!  I would make them now, but Peyton would kill me for doing it without her. She is my little sous chef complete with her own set of baking tools and bowls.  I am not even going to promise that I will make them tomorrow because I'm sure I won't have time. Tomorrow we have gymnastics, school, and hockey. Fridays are crazy at our house!

Overall, we had a really fun day, but a pretty boring day as far as eating goes!

Breakfast: Coffee. 2 cups. Nothing else.  I think I have suffered more than kids by Paul being back at school and not making breakfast for us :)

Lunch: Clearly, I was not eating at McDonald's. I don't even trust the chicken that comes on the salads. Plus, I am so spoiled with salads that I make at home that I knew I wouldn't even enjoy a salad from McDonald's.  I brought an apple, a pear and two clementines with me.  It was like a little fruit plate.  I also brought some pistachio bark to have as a treat when the kids were having ice cream.  I did not miss eating a cheeseburger, fries or nuggets AT ALL.  I wouldn't be sad if I never at McDonald's again. I'm pretty sure that there is literally nothing on the menu that would even come close to being Paleo friendly. 

Dinner:  Breakfast.  I rarely eat breakfast at breakfast, but I LOVE breakfast for dinner.  Tonight the kids had magic eggs with cheese, rye toast, and yogurt.  I made myself a mushroom and ham omelet that I topped with spreadable fruit. It was the best looking and tasting omelet I have ever made. I almost always break the omelet when I am trying to flip it and then have to turn it into a scramble instead.  Not today, today I flipped my omelet seamlessly.  I made a three egg omelet so it was all I needed to feel full. 

Snacks: Pistachio bark, a few chocolate chips, and I am going to make myself a banana sundae soon.

Confession: I had a small Dr.Pepper today at McDonald's.    So, So mad at myself.  Was it good? Yep. Does that make it worth it? No.  I am the worst promise keeper ever.
