Lessons from Carrots and Chicken Soup for Breakfast

We are currently at our family vacation which is a yearly get together with my parents, 7 siblings, their partners and children. Together we are a small rowdy village.

Each family takes on a meal over the weekend to make for all 24 of us. We got breakfast tomorrow morning (Yes! I wrote a post the night before!). So, here we are at 11:41pm and homemade chicken soup is made and ready to rock for first thing in the morning. (It got late as we had important things to do prior; Karaoke, Spike Ball, Volley Ball, Viking Chess, Ladder Golf, Bocci Ball.)

While chopping vegetables for the soup, which we are boldly introducing to the rest of my family as one of our favorite weird things that we do at home - eating soup for breakfast, Ev was trying to hurry through her chopping and as a result had rogue carrots that kept jumping off her cutting board.

It happened half a dozen times or more. Finally I had to say “Ev, that carrot is trying to teach you presence. Why don’t you just learn your lesson already so it can stop trying to teach you?” Me and Cameron looked at each other and said; “blog post moment!!” and then proceeded to high five each other. These guys are my champions and my muse.
