Shaille' challenged everyone to post about the things they do to break the monotony of a boring, routine day. When we're feeling a little down because nothing exciting is happening, we play restaurant. My brothers and sisters and I did it a lot growing up. We would make menus for everyone at the table, and some of us would be waiters or waitresses, and as we got older, one of us would be the cook.
We haven't gone as far as making menus yet, but Alyssa and I have set up a restaurant in our house more than a few times to spice up our days. We make sure the front rooms are clean before Brian gets home, light a fire in the fireplace, light some candles, and use our "fancy" dishes. Instead of drinking our water from our Tupperware pitcher, we pour it into our pretty glass pitcher.
I suppose one reason we haven't made menus is that we've always played restaurant with a normal, everybody share type of meal. Like chicken divan, or spaghetti. Menus work best with omelets or hamburgers. That way the waitress (it will be Alyssa) will take the order of what you want on you hamburger, then I (the cook) will make it up, just the way you want it. Speaking of hamburgers, the Jacks family makes hamburgers better than any restaurant can make. And, boy, are they yummy.

Generally when things get boring around the Universe of us, we do our nails. We also make plans to take over the world and/or rescue our princes from the dire circumstances that princes inevitably get themselves into. But we don't get mad at them. After all, princes aren't perfect. If they were they'd be kings.
We used to do the same thing growing up- Monica would be our waitress and she would come out with a menu to take our orders. However, the only thing we would ever have was top roman. But the real choices came when we ordered our drinks. We had our selection of water, ice water, milk, or grape juice. That was a lot of fun!
I loved the Harker homemade grape juice!
Thanks for following up with my post. :)
We did the menu thing too growing up. And Casey and I like to do those 'fancy' candlelight dinners too once in a while...
With our lives so hectic all the time we often find it relaxing at dinner time to do the dinner-and-a-movie thing. Unfortunately we're teaching Matthew a bad habit. When we say it's time for dinner he says "movie". So we have stopped doing it as often. :)
Shaille', for a while there we were having pizza picnics every Friday o Saturday. We'd rent a movie and get a pizza from Papa Murpheys and eat it on the living room floor. We haven't done it for a while though, and it's so much fun.
