Breakfast Pizzazz

My seven-year-old surprised us all with breakfast yesterday. My husband and I were still attempting sleep as she burst in and handed each of us a bowl of milk with some soggy Grape-Nut Flakes.

Minutes later, Evie giddily skipped in and showed us the breakfast Dani had made for her. I snapped a quick photo.

"Maw-um, hand me my breakfast!"

Evie devoured, then licked, the entire plate and declared it... "Good."

Grumpy Grateful Mom Goal of the Day: Helping my sous chef serve fruit for breakfast today.

At May 31, 2011 at 7:58 AM , Grumpy Grateful Mom said...: No pancake--it's actually a tortilla. But, I've been informed the recipe is top secret. :)

Come on, everyone else was wondering!
At May 31, 2011 at 12:15 PM , Jennifer said...: So funny and sweet! This post makes me extra thankful for the non soggy bowl of Life that I ate this morning for breakfast!
