Sunday Morning Treats

While I was unaware until recently that I have started a new tradition, I have in fact started a new tradition. Every Sunday morning we get up and Skylar runs around the living room and kitchen while I make up some chocolate chip pancakes. Now normally, I would never eat these (although I love them) because they have zero nutritional value and mega calories but I attempted them once when Skylar wouldn't eat anything besides mac'n'cheese and yogurt. And I surely wouldn't let Sky eat them when she eats basically crap anyways. I have gotten quite savvy in hiding vege's in things or adding fruit to dishes. BUT she loves them and it is so cute how she gets excited when I pull out the mega bag of chocolate chips (BJ's wholesale of course). Somehow she always gets one or two chips to suck on while I cook. Ryan even likes them now--not a big pancake fan--but even he says they are good. So every Sunday morning we get up and make pancakes and then Sky runs around eating her pancakes and feeding the dog her pancakes. So needless to say Max enjoys Sunday mornings also! It's been about 6 weeks now and it's funny how even I now look forward to these mornings. In times of uncertainty and financial strain, it's funny how the little things brighten up your week!
