Morning Fun

I woke up to Mason telling me he didn't eat any candy this morning. This is hardly a great achievement as he knows not to eat candy in the morning but I get what he is saying since they discovered last night the stash of Pez candies that I purchased to reward Talan for using the potty. Anyway, I decided to treat Mason to making waffles as he asks for this all the time and I always say no. So we made waffles. Unfortunately for Mason, Talan woke up as we were making them so he joined us (Mason threw a small fit about as he wanted it to be a surprise "Talan you ruined the surprise"). Anyway, if you knew this waffle mix, you would understand it is inedible and therefore I made no pre-tense in my own mind that the kids were actually going to eat them. Consequently we went the silly route of decorating them to the hilt (this is their favorite part anyway). So, fast forward to about 10 minutes ago, they kids are hungry! Big surprise. I made scrambled eggs for their real breakfast. It was all good fun. I do need to get ready for school so I don't have too much more time to write and post but it was a sweet morning being silly. Talan, by the way, now insists on helping make the coffee which I wouldn't mind except it is an utter mess. He spills coffee grinds everywhere. If I were smarter, I would have it done before he wakes up. This morning I got too engrossed in the waffle project to remember to make coffee. Ask Joe, it is usually the first thing I do. I really like my coffee! The last few pictures of Talan very excited that he got to bring the newspaper in this morning. Grover's job is to get the newspaper out of the bag.
