Waiting for Breakfast

 Once upon a Saturday morning, after all the kiddoes were showered and clean...we had to wait for breakfast to be ready before we could eat. This is a very regular Saturday morning occurrence, as Daddy makes fried eggs for the family. What to do while Mom sets the table and that heavy cast iron pan takes "forever" to get hot?

 Nathan hangs around asking questions while helping set the table, or lend a hand in any other way he sees is needed.

 Matthew checks on breakfast. Is it ready yet? We're hungry.

 Melanie pays no attention to how much time passes, for she is in a different land in a different time, and has forgotten all about us and any hunger she may have had.

 Anything else we need on the table? Napkins....ok...

 Jennifer has finished hanging up her picture on the billboard

 while Matthew wonders if he can see a goofy face of his on the camera if I catch one by accident.

 Daniel and Evelyn are playing house together, Daniel being the owner, Evelyn the dog.

Evelyn pauses to be annoyed that I don't let her see what pictures I am taking

 but since she is just ignored, she goes off trotting with Daniel, as that's what he orders.

 Jennifer pauses to tell me about what she has hung and where and how she made it and why she made it that why and what colours she used...and I try to listen a while, but unfortuntately, get distracted.

 Is my breakfast ready yet?
