Fancy Dinner

Have you ever had one of those days where you just want to do something? Anything?

Yesterday was one of those days for me. Jon didn't have to work and I really wanted to do something as a family. Something different. Something fun. We talked about going a musuem, MOA, the zoo, but all seemed so impractical since it was late afternoon and all were semi-expensive adventures for the short amount of time.

Frustrated, bored, and antsy, I decided that if were going to stay home we were atleast going to do something different. So, off to the store I went...

I purchased meat, fry-able goodies, chocolate, and strawberries (the rest that we would need, I already had at home).

Our yummy food, almost ready to eat.

When I got home I started put out candles, opened wine, and started to prepare our fancy dinner. The kids (and the hubby) changed into nicer clothes - as requested by me, and waited to see what was next. I am sure that they all were thinking that I was slightly "off my rocker", but by the end of the evening, I think that they really enjoyed our special at-home event.

Dancing in the kitchen.

We had a wonderful fodue, complete with pre-dinner dancing, a delicious dinner, even better dessert, wine (apple juice for the kiddos), music, and wonderful company. Very fun!
