when i walked in the kitchen this morning
these two were busy.
within 3 minutes of being awake i had my camera in my hand.
(i put it down for a moment so i could make some coffee.)
annie was in the best mood.
she was talking a mile-a-minute and so happy to be with daddy.
i could tell you she has bed-head…
but this what her hair looks like all the time.
“i want to crack the egg!”
“i got egg on my hand!”
“i want to pour the oil!”
sneaky.
“mmmmm….sugar.”
(annie calls it ‘souuu-dawh’)
“i want to turn it on!”
can you tell she is three?
she is becoming so very independent.
do you make your pancakes in a blender?
this is the way craig has always made them…
probably because his mom did it that way.
i am pretty sure we always did bisquick growing up??
am i wrong mom?
there’s nothing wrong with bisquick. i use it when craig isn’t here.
maybe i should post his recipe….
this routine of pancakes with dad is special.
it’s a 13 year tradition….going strong.
all the kids like to help (or did at one time)
and of course they like to eat them.
now that we add blueberries i love to eat them too.
it makes a mess but the memories are worth it.
Meredith Salmon - We are always looking for the perfect pancakes. Is Craig willing to share his ingredients.
melissa @ the inspired room - We make our puff pancakes in a blender, but not the regular pancakes. But my kids haven’t been too happy with our regular pancakes. Maybe I need your recipe!
Love the daddy/daughter pics. Such good times!

traci - yes, maybe you should post the recipe. i am a bisquik mom, but it would be nice to suprise the family with homemade. yum!!!
Jenny Pocknall - Yum. My husband makes pancakes too. He makes them with a hand whisk.
It is a great treat for the kids to join in.

Lee Ann - We had pancakes today too….but gluten-free just isn’t the same 🙁 Never in a blender. We didn’t even have bisquick when I was growing up. Just Krusteez….only add water. It is nice when you’re just going to make one or two, but oh those fluffy bisquick ones are yummy. Would love to try the blender ones as well.
Thanks so much for my gift! What a thrill to open it. I immediately went to my current scrapbook page to see how I could use some of it…..a fourth of July page (yes I’m going backwards and Christmas is done) and you sent blue and red ribbon. Perfect!
restyledhome - I am so craving pancakes right now!!
You are a master with the camera…are you a professional??

amy - it’s not just you, amy d… the thought of even trying to make pancakes without Bisquick has never occurred to this neighbor.
Andrea - I’ve been poking around your blog now. And I love it! That bathroom! That mirror! I LOVE it all!
Mom - Sometimes I would slurge and make them from scratch, but the bisquick ones were so quick and we thought – pretty good!
I must say that Craig’s are great. He can make pancakes for us anytime.
Also missed him yesterday when yet again we were shoveling tons of snow!
Wouldn’t that be nice if that were the last snow of the winter!
Love ya’
traci - My kids LOVE to cook with their dad too!!! Personally I think there is nothing like a daddy and their daughters. Never saw pancakes blended in a blender before but hey less lumps or probably zero lumps that way. Looks like a great morning. Thanks for sharing
Queenie Bee - Just as I was thinking “hmmmm…I’ve never mixed pancakes in a blender before”…YOU ASKED THE QUESTION! Looks fun! Great blog! Fun read! I found you a few weeks ago and have really enjoyed your family’s wonderful antics. Have an awesomely artful day! You know it’s gonna’ be a good one when you start taking photos three minutes out of bed! 🙂
amy d - you must post that recipe, i didn’t know there was anything other than bisquick! that should come to no surprise to my neighbors 🙂
