Why Did you do this?

I am not a good writer. i think I used to be. I took an English class in college that I really enjoyed and I think my writing improved greatly. Then I went to work for the Federal Govenment and in an effort to conform , I think I lost all writing ability.

So here I am, writing matter of fact posts that describe the pictures so that the kids and g'parents can enjoy one day.

Tonight, after going through several menu options, the kids and I settled on pancakes. While Special Agent Oso was playing and the medicene was flowing, I cooked pancakes. Quite proud of myself I thought I'd put a little IHOP spin on them. Originally the bananas made a mouth, but I decided they should become a tongue and eyebrows.

I know in advance that they would be critiqued to death, so I was prepard for "I don't like blueberries". Uttered by my blueberry fein. And, I don't want the bananas and why did you put a cherry in the middle? Well because of course I knew you'd hate it! I wasn't upset or offended by their reaction, amused is more like it. We don't commonly serve food that is prepared like this, so I think I caught them off guard.

I emailed these photos to Den whilst we spoke on the phone and he thought they looked like moose. I thought a dog and a cat, but regardless, Eddie was making animal requests for the next time I decided to go this route.

Ha, as if. Cookie is basically out the rest of the week. Her grandson is doing much better, but it really is quite serious. I am happy we can do this for her and equally happy that backup childcare is available.
