mickey mouse saves the day...

so let me ask, if you woke up from your nap today (assuming you are as lucky as my kids and find the time in your busy day to take a nap) is there anything that could cheer you up more than...oh wait...so you wake up from your nap and realize that your pull up was not absorbant enough to contain whatever beverages you consumed before you fell asleep. you realize that your "Nie" (favorite blankie) has to take a bath (be put in the washer), your bed has to be stripped of all its wetness and your mom is forcing you to take a shower to wash the pee off your legs. when your almost 3, this is a very tragic event - although i guess it would be more tragic at our age!!

but that was when mickey mouse stepped in to save the day! when the tears started pouring, i had to think fast..."who wants mickey mouse pancakes for dinner?" it was the first thing i could think of and thank goodness because it put that meltdown right in its place! and it was a delicious idea too! breakfast for dinner has always been a favorite for me, ever since i was little...and it probably originated from the fact that my dad hated when we had breakfast for dinner, so it was always a special treat! well now that i'm the mom, we have breakfast for dinner quite often, sometimes once a week! my cooking skills (patience) are not that great and breakfast food is quick, easy and deliciously wholesome! we had honey whole wheat blueberry pancakes (although all 3 kids gave me all their bites with the blueberries in them. apparently cooking the blueberries makes them to sour!)

of course the picture uploaded in the wrong direction and doesnt want to flip, but you get the idea...i can even be creative with my food! tuscans is the one on the blue plate with m&m's for eyes!

give it a try some night, let me know if it works as well for you as it did for me!!
