Before I share my menu…I’ve just got a quick question that perhaps one of you will possibly know the answer to.
WHY….when Daddy is home and absolutely available…do the kids still come and wake up Mommy from her nap so that they can ask a very non-important question that certainly Daddy is very capable of handling? Does ANYBODY know?
Okay, well…I just thought I’d ask. (And now you know how part of my weekend went…)

I already use your WW pancake recipe (Thanks BTW!) but I think I’m going to have to try the chocolate swirl muffins! Yum!
And in response to your waking up mommy question, it’s probably one of two things. Either the kids DID ask dad first, but dad responded “How should I know? Go ask your mother.” Or the kids are geniuses and know mom’s always have the better answer. Even if it’s just asking where Daddy put the crayons!” LoL

My kids will walk past dad to wake mom up… for the same reason that they will appear out of nowhere and absolutely have to ask you 30 questions as soon as you pick up the phone…

Your menu plans always make me drool!
–Cause we Moms know EVERYTHING! It’s just something that happens right after the birth of the first born! And Dads know this….that’s why they ALWAYS tell them to ‘I don’t know-go ask mom’ and that’s why kids eventually stop asking their dad at all…. It takes them a while, but they learn….we have ALL the answers! That’s probably how come God made Eve second, after He saw that Adam couldn’t figure out alot of stuff!

I can beat that. My children are so used to Mama being the source of all answers that they will pass Daddy up to ask me, “Mama, can Daddy …..?”

My children do exactly that same thing. It has something with them not actually perceiving us as real people. Dad is a real person, but mum is a necessity.
