Midnight Cereal

So this blog is going to be a little different than the rest… It’l be more of an explanation of something I greatly love, and something that brought all the girls together at the end of the day.

At the end of the day, everyone is tired and groggy for the most part. Despite that, many of us would stay late at the boys’ shed playing cards or other games. To make sure that we would still be able to function in the morning, the older girls established a curfew of 12:00 am.

So around midnight every single night, the girls that I hang out with and I would come rolling into the girls’ place. However, being that we are girls and loooove chatting, every night we arrived back at the house, we’d dig out the cereal, grab a seat, and talk with each other for at least a half hour. My personal cereal of choice was usually Cinnamon Toast Crunch, but they had all the cereal your parents would never let you eat as a child. There were five of us that started the gathering of late-night snacking: Katie, Annika, Shana, Jaida, Lacie, Heidi, and I. After the first night of midnight cereal, we couldn’t not do it again, so the late night munchies routine was started.

Slowly, as we continued our midnight cereal tradition, more and more girls started to join us. Either they thought we were really cool and wanted to join our gossip group, or they just really liked cereal, because eventually ALL the girls were gathering in the kitchen every single night for our midnight cereal with us.

As more people joined, the talks grew longer and the friendships grew stronger. Midnight cereal was definitely something that we all looked forward to at the end of all the longs, exhausting days of work. Partially because of the talks, but for me, the excitement was mostly from getting to eat cereal. 🙂
