Pumpkin Pancake Misshap:)

For a change, I thought it would be nice to invite the "Thanks Giving season" by making Pumpkin Pancakes for dinner, as a treat for my Family...So of course I get out the (Krusteaz buttermilk pancake mix) and persue my dreams of Beautiful,Lavish, Deliciously Fluffy Pancakes with Hot Maple Syrup flowing like a stream, and a picture perfect Dopple of Butter in the center...I know my mouth is watering just thinking about them:) But in my Kitchen, it is Not like the Cooking shows at all, everything is Not perfectly measured and displayed like "so" in little tiny matching bowls...
Oh!!! No, on the contrary, it is a disaster, mis-match bowls, dirty dishes, flour everywhere, kids squealing & running in circles, with no clean hand Towels, LOL:) It is chaotic, but very entertaining!!!
So I mix my 2 cups of pancake mix, 1 1/2 cups of water, this is of course to make 14-15 pancakes right??? Wrong~O~ because you and I both know that it never makes as many as the box says... then I get a small can of pumpkin pie filling and add half the can, no joke!!! I finely chop the pecans, and throw them in, and add 2 big heaping Tablespoons of Brown sugar, 1 egg, & stir it all in:) I have the eggs in the pan cooking, and the hash browns in the oven...and I am feeling pretty good about myself!!!

I pour my first pancake into the Hot grill with a big smile on my face, It comes out ugly and just not display material(this is normal for my first pancake so I press on)I try again and again, and again, But nothing only burnt pieces of goo, that don't even resemble a pancake...(my smile fades) I felt like a failure, and did not want to let my family down so, I decided to just make the normal boring pancakes...and then a Miracle Happened:)

Since I had all of that mix & didn't want it to go to waste... so I added a little Cinnamon to the mix, and poured it into 3 mini bread pans, sprinkled some Brown sugar on the top & crushed pecans and put it into the oven for 25-30 minutes... To my surprise!!! it turned out perfectly, "Pumpkin Bread" goodness, and my huge mis-hap turned into something magical & mouth watering:)

"Flirting all Day"

I wore some jeans & the cutest sage green blouse today that showed off my Curves & my Beautiful Greens!!! I didn't wear any makeup, but felt unusually Sexier than normal...It was Amazing...
On an average day it's like hey Honey, a Little peck kiss before I watch the love of my Life ride off to work, and then I go about my day with just that tiny 3 second kiss to get me through my entire Drama filled day... but Today God had other plans...I have been feeling extra frumpy-Dumpy and really down on myself for not going to the gym for the last 3 months or so.... I put on what I thought would be a normal blouse, and I thought nothing of it when I threw it on...just that I love green:) anyway My Hubby has been flirting with me from across the room every chance he has gotten, or pinched or squeezed my bottom while walking by...he had me blushing just by his smile, anyway needless to say when he had a free moment I went up to him and kissed him a real kiss, (you know the kind) and it was Perfect, he held me and we were like little love starved teenagers again...we flirted allot more as the day progressed...and as I write this he is calling me over to him...because the kids are finally going to bed, and we had promised eachother that tonight is the night!!! (& I am Blushing)

Lil Bag of Tats

Little bag of fake Tattoo's could make everybody happy:) we were all sitting around the table finishing our lunches, and all of a sudden I got the idea to make us "COOL" I am talking about my 8 year old Son, my 5 year old Daughter, My 2 1/2 year old Daughter, and my Baby girl who just turned 10 months old today:) So I pulled the little bag of Tats out and then we all started to pick out our favorites...It was really fun, My 5 Year old Daughter picked out a Butterfly and had me put it on her little sweet Ankle, My 2 1/2 year old daughter picked out a Fishy and I put that on her Ankle too, My Son picked out a King Cobra Snake which was Totally Awesome and Had me put it on his Little muscle Chest, and the Baby I put a little Bumble Bee on her arm:) I did a great Job with everybodies Tats, until I tried to put my own on....My Little Lily flower looked like it got a bite taken out of it:( Oh well, at least the kids were Happy, and I was Happy too just watching them act cool and cute:)

Here Fishy Fishy!!!


After cleaning my Fish Ruby's bowl and going to place her back under her little light, I got this incredible urge to take a drink of her water...I had to literally pull myself back and think about what I was about to digest...so I had my really close friend take a picture of it anyway, and guess what? I tasted her water & it wasn't that bad:)
