Top Chef---Breakfast Edition

R, BabyBear, and SW had a sleepover Friday night.

So when they woke up this morning, they said, "CAN WE BE IN CHARGE OF BREAKFAST?"

Ahhhhhhhhhh.....................music to my ears......kids in charge of their own breakfasts.

Maybe one day they will say,
"Can we pllleeeeeeeeeeezzzzze do some laundry?"

OR
"Can we plllllleeeeeeezzzze be in charge of scooping the cat box?"
OR
"Can we plllllllllllllllllllllleeeeeeeeeeezzeeee clean up the gigantic fort that we made upstairs using 900 blankets and all the couch cushions?"

But for now, I'm happy with the breakfast making........baby steps.

That's why I love these three so much-----they are all RAH RAH Football playing sweaty 6th Grade boys, but they ain't afraid of donning a nice girly apron on a Saturday morning for a little culinary development.


Their future wives are gonna LOVE LOVE LOVE them for knowing how to get around a kitchen.

The Saturday Morning Pancake EGGstravaganza started off pretty normal....."Okay, I'll mix the batter, you get the spatula...."


"Yeah, then we will put the chocolate chips on top of the batter.........."

Just your average, typical pancake breakfast.

normal, round, boringly spherical pancakes............right?

But then that little "Culinary Sparkle" started twinkling in all their eyes and they decided to get creative..............................

BabyBear payed homage to one of his favorite places to visit by making a Mickey pancake.

M-I-C...................K-E-Y..............M-O-U-S-E.

Then R said "I'VE GOT A GREAT IDEA!!!!


So he decided to pay homage to NIKE...........

with a chocolate sprinkled NIKE Swoosh.............
(because nothing says NIKE ATHLETICS like syrup and chocolate)

And finally, it was time for SW to whip out his culinary wizardry.........(and he even managed his masterpiece with a fractured hand from a fall during tennis last week!)

It was a two-part-pancake honoring this small secular college just north of the great state of TEXAS...............can't seem to remember the name of it................

Oh, yeah.......OU!
And when I started doing the typical Aggie thing of talking smack about other colleges.........


He reminded me of something by removing the apron with a t-shirt reveal......so I shut up.

Peace Out Mon...................................

Not sure I will ever be a mother-in-law to one of these three but I appreciate your efforts to mold them into future model husbands!
