Pancakes and protests

     Well today I got woken up with my three younger boys arguing about who did what first.  I still don't know and really they have been at each other the past few days.  Its to the point that they are just not making things fun for them selves.So what did I do.  Its probably something people wouldn't do in their situations but I needed to save some sanity.  I had them read while I made them Chocolate and Spiced pancakes.  Is that bad.?  Well I don't know and don't really care.  They all loved them and it seemed to smooth things over for them enough to play with each other again and that's all i really care about.
     I remember when I was growing up I loved my brother.  We did everything together and went everywhere with one another...  I guess I can still hope that they will one day be able to be really comfortable with their selves that they can participate in everyday life and include each other.

In case you are wondering about my pancakes well here it is.  I'm a Hobo of cooks.  I make do with what ever I have and make it work.

Chocolate oatmeal pancakes
     hand fulls of oatmeal
     flour
     cocoa powder
     sugar
     water
Mix it all together until it's barely thick and still watery

Pumpkin oatmeal pancakes
made the same way but instead of cocoa powder i add Instant pudding mix.  Just the powder.  No eggs or mild.

Have fun while you cook

New start

Everyday can be a new start for anyone.  I just picked today to get over everything and make some time for myself.

     Everyone know that when summer comes along children are home for the most part.  I've have been going crazy with doctor appointments left and right.  Even with the help of my phone i tend to forget an appointment here and there.  I do remember when the alarm goes off though.  :)  I love have my boys home but with being 5 months 3weeks pregnant and hungry all the time its hard to make a good choice of what to make to eat to satisfy everyone.  Its a good thing that as long as they get to help cooking here and there they are at least happy to try it..  on todays lunch menu is Pho.  I had to cheat a bit on the seasonings but its all me "Pho"  All me as a throw together.  Of course those are the meals that they ave about but i tend to not write down the recipes and do it by memory..
