With what I had on hand, today was Oatmeal Whole Wheat Muffins. With two different types of fillings: one with fresh blueberries and white chocolate chips, and the other, fresh cubed bananas with milk chocolate chips. You see, I have one daughter who loves bananas, and one daughter who loves blueberries :) I cut the sugar in half, threw in a couple of chocolate chips (for the extra 'fun' element on a Saturday morning for my girls), and added flax-seed meal. It may not be the ideal 'everyday' breakfast, but weekend mornings are special when you're a kid. And I'd rather have my girls eat a few chocolate chips for breakfast, before Captain Crunch or Pop Tarts.
The Mr. kindly took this shot for me, and then we were off - taking care of our friends' three kiddos for the day. The two older ones are spending the night - shhhhhhhh. They just fell asleep upstairs! Our friends are moving this weekend. And really, who can move one their own with a 7 year-old, a 4 year-old, and a 10 month-old, right? So our house was filled today with laughter, running around playing games like hide-and-seek, and some 'where am I, I want mommy!' baby cries. All wonderful sounds :) One of our wonderful nieces came over and hung out and gave us a hand too - huge help! Even the sun came out so we got to be outside! Praying there will be sun again tomorrow, so we can walk over to the park, and visit the duck pond.
I'm staring at the muffin pics and just can't believe how fast the day flew by. I thought I was going to bake another batch of SweetPotatoMayas today. And I was actually planning to post THOSE pictures. Yeah, that didn't happen. I crack myself up sometimes, with my grand delusions of doing everything my mind thinks up.
Wishing you a sunshiny, lovely weekend :)
