Lesson #9

If you want hugs, then let them run the house for a few hours. Yes, let them, one at a time, run the house. Plus if you have sick kids, remember that laughter is the best medicine, not ignoring them while they sleep away the day. They still need to be active! I don't really like it when the kids are sitting on the couch not doing anything but today was a bit of a must. And so with one kid off at camp and the other sick at home, we had to do something without losing our minds!

I decided to make breakfast (even though, as she said, I "... burn alot of things.") and so we had Pancakes! Blueberry! Marshmellow! Plain Pancakes! And the little one (over 7) had the great idea to make a picnic breakfast indoors! And this is what she came up with, the clever girl!

So we had pancakes, syrup, and juice. The clever one wanted a candle light breakfast (unfortunatly, it was her Mom's good candle, so we had nothing of it!) And the she set up the whole breakfast table her self! I was quite proud, she's learning something from me!

And you know how many hugs I got out of the deal because I let her mix, crack the eggs, 'clean' the house and set up the breakfast table? Six! Six in one day! So, go get some love yourself!


Recipe:

1 C Bisquick Pancake Mix              Chocolate chips
1 Egg                                               Marshmellows
1/2 Cup Milk

1. Stir all ingrediants in a bowl, with a whisk or a spoon.
2. Ladle the mixture onto a pan, doesn't matter the size.
3. Cook until the undersides edges are golden brown, add decorations (chocolate chips, marshmellows etc.)
4. The second side often cooks faster then the first side, keep an eye on the underside and flip again.
5. When the pancakes are cooked to your favorite color, serve and enjoy! Just a word of warning, the marshmellows tend to stick to the pan so make sure that you clean the pan as soon as you can.

Hint: If the mixture is too 'thick' add a little bit more milk.
