Wednesday

What we've been waking up to

3.13.13- 

    My husband came up with the idea of making our 3 girls a big breakfast every morning before school.  
 This is something new & different in our home. We usually don't have a sit down, eat all together, hot breakfast every morning.  Usually just cereal, smoothies or toast was the basic everyday around here. Because #1 is on the bus at 7:00 a.m. & the other 2 leave for the bus around 8:10. 
{Our breakfast today- Waffle Wednesday!} 
-He even sets a place for me to eat with the girls.  Loved that he sliced the strawberries this morning, he's the BeST!- 
So when he told me his idea it surprised me a bit. First of all, he doesn't really cook & I thought to myself, "Ok, great this will probably last a couple of days"  but here we are on day 8 & it's still going strong. He's even laid up in bed at night researching new recipes to make for the girls on line & writing down his own grocery shopping list. {what the what?!?}
  
-A great way to walk out the door to HS every morning for this one.- 

-Happy, hungry girls- 
One thing I know about my husband is when he does something he does it right!  No half way stuff, he is all in to a project when he sets his mind to it.  {Love this about him!} 
That being said this isn't just an ordinary breakfast it is complete with place mats, glasses, nice dishes.  
{which are set out every night before bed to cut down on the prep time for cooking & getting breakfast all ready} 


-He sets out the girls vitamins every morning too.- 
He doesn't just give the girls yummy food but also gives them some spiritual food as well. Each  morning he gives the girls & I a little spiritual thought for the day.  
{We all have loved it!} 
-Vitamin C & D as well as some scripture power is a fabulous way to set out for the day!-

Todays message came from Matthew 6:20-21, a good powerful message to think about.  That's also found in the Book of Mormon.  {3 Nephi 13:19-20} 
We had a great discussion with the girls about these scriptures this morning.  

So grateful to have him in my life & for all the sweet little things he does for our family everyday & especially in the mornings now.  It's such a fantastic way to start off all of our days.  
{Thanks, Ty!  Can't wait to see what you cook up tomorrow}
