Happy dinner to you

I need to get better about meal planning. It's one of my major downfalls. Suddenly it's 4:30pm and I'm in a complete state of panic about the forthcoming meal.

Some days Tom comes in to find I have a furrowed brow and elevated blood pressure, and he throws together a meal for the kids while I peruse the take-out menus for us.

He always does fun things for dinner that I never would have thought of. Letter sandwiches (or pancakes) are a big favorite of his, but this was our first dinner with candles. We all sang "happy dinner to you" and blew out candles. Which made me think, why don't we do candles more often? Why do we just reserve that fun for birthdays?

So go light some candles and sing a rousing round of Happy Tuesday. It's bound to put everyone in a good mood.
