So, in the early Sunday morning hours (ok...maybe not that early....but I was sleepy) My Wonderful Husband let me sleep in and went out to get donuts for the kids for breakfast. Essentially I am really writing this blog today by word of mouth.... but the fact that My Wonderful Husband not only went out in the wee hours of morning (ok 7 ish) to get a special breakfast for the children, then came back and documented the said special breakfast by taking a picture AND relayed to me the conversation that was sparked by the special breakfast, is very, very cool. Clearly, he is on board with this project!!! I thank him for his participation today (and for letting me sleep through it)..... But I do digress....
A bit of important background; this is a family that loves summer. I feel as though that may be an understatement, but if you read my one of my previous blogs, you understand that I do not love winter. Summer though, is warm and sunny and we spend lazy days at the beach..... Again I digress....but there is a point somewhere in here. During the summer we tend to let the kids have donuts for breakfast a bit more often than we normally do. First, not to be a "stateist", but we spend most of our summer in NJ and they clearly have better bakeries than anywhere else and we take advantage of that. Second, when My Wonderful Husband is out surfing at the crack of dawn, he has a distinct advantage in getting to the bakery early to get the freshest yummy treats. Third and most important, donuts are an easy breakfast for the kids to get themselves when they decide to wake with the sun and their Daddy is surfing and their mommy is the only sane one who enjoys sleeping in the morning.
So to make a long story, not much shorter, when The Bear, The Princess and The Boy woke today to find that their Daddy had gotten them donuts for breakfast they were excited to say the least. These kids LOVE donuts. As they quickly picked their favorites and gobbled them down, The Boy declared "YUM!! THESE TASTE LIKE SUMMER!".
