For my birthday my parents got me a waffle maker and we have been loving it. It is one of those fancy kind that can cook two waffles at the same time. With the amount of time it saves we have even been able to fit waffles into the school morning routine. Yesterday, Rebecca suggested that we try a chocolate waffle recipe that she had found. I was a little surprised given she is usually super health conscious (our typical waffle recipe is 100% whole wheat, with flax seed added to boot). Paired with our homemade raspberry syrup, I had really high hopes. However, chocolate waffles didn't end up turning out as good as they sound, and by the end of breakfast we still had a couple left over.
This morning Ethan (6) and Julia (7) woke up early and came in to ask what they could eat. Our usually Sunday morning breakfast is oatmeal, but Rebecca and I were still getting ready for church, and we were not going to be able to prepare it for a little bit. Instead, Rebecca had suggested that they eat the leftover waffles from yesterday, and suggested that they start preparing some for Christian and Elliott as well.
They did an amazing job getting things ready for them. Not only did they get out waffles for them, they toasted them up in the toaster, cut them into individual squares (it is a big deal to cut right along the square lines to our kids), and poured on the syrup. When Rebecca checked on them next, everything was ready to go! Now I am wondering why they are always asking me to cut up their waffles, get them milk, and everything else on other days.
Today, Julia and Ethan are my superheros for preparing an early morning snack for Christian and Elliott.
