Random Things

The kids slept in today!! WOO HOO!! I am so glad to have been able to get an extra hour and a half to two hours of sleep, but it kind of jacked up our day. On Sunday mornings I always make filled pancakes. Depending on the type of filling I put in it usually takes about an hour or so from start to finish so when we get up between 6:00 - 6:30 breakfast is ready to go usually before 8:00 (I have to make my coffee first and wake up a bit...I do have priorities).

So today we woke up at 8:30 - YES I SAID 8:30!!!!! Holy cow. Then we all hung out in our bed for a few minutes before actually rolling out of bed...the kids always come in and snuggle for a while before we actually get up. Hey, if I can manage a few more minutes of sleep this way, I will take it!

We ended up having breakfast at 10:15...so that totally jacks up the rest of the day's schedule. Forget church today. Sunday school starts at 10:00....and I am not even showered yet. But...I made some darn good filled pancakes this morning. I used this recipe from Williams Sonoma this morning - YUMMY!! I did not use their pancake recipe because let's face it...I am not a domestic diva...I have to use the mix....

I am totally on a sugar high and I know that I will crash soon, but these were really good. I love my ebelskiver pan!! Brian bought it for my birthday last year and ever since I started using, I use it at least once a week. There are so many different flavors and fillings you can try. I totally recommend the product! I think there is a new fancier version, but it rocks! A little piece of advice if you do go out and buy it is to use a non stick spray such as Pam (I use the generic brand) because it makes it so much easier. I didn't have any spray this morning and had to use butter - it was a bit of a challenge. They still tasted good, but the didn't look as pretty as when I use the spray.
