Not Yet a Mother

So this is us...me driving the Paijetta and Ben always happy smiling singing etc. See the green out the window? Yes, I've been waiting for that since January.

Even though I'm not technically a "mother" yet, Ben still wanted to uphold the Lewis family traditions on this day. Apparently breakfast in bed is one of them. I was so excited to not set an alarm for the first time in a long time. But the internal clock inside my head told me it was time to get up at 7:30 anyway! So Ben got up at started going at it in the kitchen. We had gone to the store the night before and purchased stuff for blueberry pancakes and cinnamon toast. I heard Ben in the kitchen with pots/pans/etc. He can't find the Pam, then he burned the first pancake. "Oh no," I hear.. wondering if I should check on the situation. Next, he burned the second pancake and wondered what was wrong. "It said heat to 375 degrees... I figured that meant high on the burner." After that he managed well and brought in the breakfast on a cookie sheet. Pancakes, toast, strawberries, bananas, and o.j. I mentioned I wanted my toast buttered and he asked if I wanted both sides done... Oh how I love my Ben.


I guess you could say I'm trying to be more "motherly" and make other things besides dinner. Banana chocolate chip cookies were the first shot. Actually turned out pretty yummy... The only annoying part was getting to the "mix all ingredients" step and realizing I don't have baking powder. But nonetheless it was a good start...
