Yesterday, while searching for the box of cake mix we buy for Bryn... the one with no milk, eggs or nuts in the ingredients (nor do you have to add those things to the mix)... we happened to find a pancake mix made by the same company. At the age of 9, Bryn's never had pancakes before... something most kids just take for granted. She was pretty excited about it and I told her if we ended up getting all the snow they were predicting & school was called off, I'd make them for her this morning. We got the snow, so she got pancakes...
She managed to eat 3 of them before saying she was full. She loved them though and I loved that she got to try something new.
She played outside in the snow for about a 1/2 hour with her neighbor friend, before coming in for some hot chocolate and Legos. It's about 19 degrees today...
Meanwhile, Bob is at work emailing me about potential places to go for Spring Break. Cancun is on the top of his list, but I thought that was an unsafe place to travel right now? I think someone has cabin fever. And I have to admit, the beach does sound really nice right about now...
oh that is so great! what a score. and THREE? That is too cute. I love bananas with my pancakes and waffles, too.
Thanks for the vote, I appreciate it. I wish it was an SRM DT announcement though ;). Are you going to CHA? I think I remember seeing you have gone before.

glad she got to experience pancakes!!
here is a good website for some gluten free cooking: www.elanaspantry.com
not all the recipes are gluten free, but a very large portion of them are, so bryn may be able to try some more yummy things :)

Wow . . . I take pancakes for granted. What a treat for Bryn!
We had a snow day today, but it rained so the kids couldn't go out and play in the slush. My girls made cookies :)
