Pancakes

Tonight I asked the girls what they wanted for dinner. PANCAKES!!! they both screamed. Every morning we wake up, they ask for pancakes...
For some reason when I was pregnant with Ella I made pancakes pretty much every single day. Lauren & Hallie would each get a turn to stir, then I would empty the dishwasher while they cooked. My pancakes became perfect! Light brown...not too airy, not too heavy. Tonight I started to believe that I may have created a comfort food of pancakes for the twins. We had good mornings together while eating those yummy pancakes. They had my full attention, good music in the background, and I believe over those pancakes they learned to pray.
The bad thing about them asking for pancakes every morning now is that I have not made them once since Ella was born. Maybe its because I am parched in the morning from nursing, and want a bowl of cereal with lots of milk, but they just don't sound so yummy to me any more. but...tonight....as I made pancakes, I unloaded the dishwasher, looked over at my babies-who I noticed have completely grown up in the last 7 1/2 months since the other baby came and realized how much I loved our pancake breakfast mornings. I think I'll start making pancakes again more often...maybe even Ella can try some soon.

MMMMmmmmm! Can I come over for some pancakes? You know, pancakes shouldn't be too difficult, but mine always taste like cardboard. I actually had someone tell me that once. Cooking is NOT one of my strengths!
