pancake cookies

I don't know what hit me on the head one morning, but I decided to make the boys some pancakes for breakfast. On a school day. Yes, I am crazy. I took a few shots that morning {with my camera, not my rum}. But as always, lighting at 7am in a dark kitchen the results came out less than pleasant. 

I kinda burnt a couple of them because I had no idea what I was doing.
But that same weekend, "pancake cookies" were requested again. And I obliged because I knew I could do better the second time around.
I made sure to spray the cutters with cooking oil so the pancake mix wouldn't stick and voila! Perfectly shaped and decorated "pancake cookies"....

....and they enjoyed them with some cartoons! It was the weekend after all. PS. Just FYI, we do not own a dining table. For some reason, we keep getting housing with no space for a table! One day...one day my children will know what it is to set a proper table.

This definitely beat my insanely time-consuming empanadas I made this week. eeeehhhkdkda;lkgj I'll never do those again. Have a great week, you guys!

This is from Valentine's...which is late....I know. Please forgive me. Technically we are still in February.

I got this idea for making them a placemat from Jill at Baby Rabies and of course

I had to make them ♥-shaped pancakes! They loved it. That afternoon, I made them ♥-shaped pizza!

And Jonah, my little scribbler, drew all over his mat. While brother, was just interested in his chocolates...

...which he took one bite of, then decided that gooey-filled chocolates were not for him. 

My honeybun gave me a ring pop to show how much he knows loves me.

And some roses....

And I took the time to write both my boys a Valentine letter to give to them when they are older.

I hope they get embarrassed when they read it. I also hope they know how much I love them.

Let's not forget my craft. A heart shaped garland with those paint thingies you get at a hardware store.

I'm not surprised at all that February is almost done with. 

I'm glad March is around the corner. We have some weddings coming up. 

Baby bumps {unfortunately, not mine} and SPRING!!! Yeah! I know we are ALL excited for Spring.
