A Little Out of the Ordinary

Sometimes it takes very little to turn the ordinary into something memorable.  If your willing to change things up a bit, you can have fun with really, very little effort.

The other day the kids and I baked some cookies for a care package, but we saved some to enjoy with Daddy after dinner.   While we don’t have dessert everyday, a chocolate chip cookie after dinner is not all that memorable.

The kids had the idea of eating our cookies under the table. 

This simple action turned the ordinary into extraordinary.

They were delighted to have all 5 of us crammed under the table enjoying our treat.

We started with a girls side and a boy side.

This didn’t last for long as the girls soon enjoyed climbing over the “gate” in the middle to be with the boys.

I love this picture because of my youngest.  You can totally tell she is saying cheese as she shows off her mouth full of chocolate!
