Our breakfast time.
Once in a while, I feel like doing something special for my kids…
This morning, I thought that I would make them pancakes with chocolate chips… I saw a great picture of some bran pancakes on my box of bran flakes… asked my husband to get some whole wheat flour… I came downstairs this morning and saw the pack of flour AND a box of instant buttermilk pancake mix. Being married for 8 years… my husband is a bit of a skeptic when it comes to me trying to follow a recipe loves my cooking, but wanted to make it easy for me! Needless to say… “bran flakes” mix was in the garbage… and my buttermilk pancakes with chocolate chips were great!
We were in our usual meal time seating arrangement… me in the middle with the newborn on my lap, and the 2 kids on either side… and having our usual meal time conversations…
Me to toddler: bite first, then drink…
Toddler: nope!
Me to toddler: ok takes away drink
Toddler: crying
Preschooler: mummy, put him in “vested” waters with sharks! [Shark-infested waters]
Now, I was wondering where he would hear a line like that, since we really don’t look at TV… tempted to blame my parents… but then realized that the line came from the episode of “Care Bears” they’ve been watching all week!
