A conversation that happened between my husband and I several weeks ago and about a jillion times since.
Note before reading: We usually take turns making dinner.
Picture it.
About 8:15 p.m.
San Jose del Cabo.
Both kiddos are successfully sleeping after either random crying (Vivienne) or having to use the potty 600 times before actually falling asleep (Lila).
Craig: I am soooo hungry.
(It's my night to cook.)
Me: Guess what?! Tonight is a special night?
Craig: Oh?
Me: It's special because you can [insert super-excited-talking-to-children-voice] make whatever you want for dinner!

Fast forward to a few days after that original conversation.
It's about 8:15 p.m. again. Both cupcakes are sleeping.
Craig: I am soooo hungry.
Me: silence
Craig: Is it one of those "special" nights again?
:)

Ah yes. I'm a firm believer that you can spin ANYTHING to be fantastic.
Note: Our "special nights" habitually fall on the evenings when it's my turn to make dinner. Craig makes incredible dinners on his nights.
I usually make pancakes.
Who's a lucky man?
Yep.
