I found the coolest thing!!!

First off, I am sorry I have not blogged in a while. These last few weeks have been crazy busy with birthdays, parties and trying to get as much family time in as possible. Hubby is getting ready to go play soldier for a few weeks, so I should have more time to focus on the things that make me super happy :) Like blogging, crocheting and crafting! YAY! I sure will miss him when he's gone, but it's nice to have some down time sometimes.

So every Friday I watch my friend's little boy while she puts in her hours for her externship. Friday's are fun. 2 boys, recently both under the age of 3. We've had our good, our bad and our plain "is it time to drink yet?!" :) I love this little boy like he's my own though. I love his brother too. His brother is 9. He's an amazing kid. When he's around, he helps take care of the other kids. Today, is one of those days! The older kids have off school, so both boys are here, as well as my kids. Z thinks this is so cool since it's her birthday. She's in heaven.

This morning I decided since all 4 kids were going to be home, we would make a big breakfast with our new pancake creator I bought at Wal-Mart. I am usually not one to give into buying just anything, but after passing this little guy so many times, I just had to try it.

The kids were more than excited to see what I could come up with. I have made Mikey Mouse pancakes before, and I figured this would at least make it 10x easier. I was right. Mickey came out great!

G's Mickey Mouse with H's well... H :)

Not too shabby. And much easier than scooping it out with a measuring cup. Z wanted her name:

name masterpiece :)

But of course, with the good comes the ugly. H then wanted me to try to make the dead guy pancake from Despicable Me....yeah....not so much....lol



And then Z wanted Hello Kitty....FAIL!

But it was a fun morning. I went through two batches of pancake batter, and could have sat there all day perfecting my pancake making craft!! :)

The cool thing about this little gadget is that you can put it in the fridge and store any leftover batter you have. Which for us, is good because when it's just myself and the kids here, we usually have a single batch that ends up with leftovers!

So...in the end, I would say this thing is worth the $6 you'll spend on it. The kids love it most of all, and that, to me, is what is important :)
