Mornings are usually quiet, laidback affairs at our house. Unless we're making a big breakfast -- usually reserved for special days, such as birthdays, holidays, or hey-it's-a-Tuesday-let's-celebrate kinda days -- we don't have a set schedule. As long as we're up and dressed before noon, it's all good. Okay, some sarcasm there, but honestly, our family is not a at-this-time-we-do-this kinda family. We're spontaneous, creative, and, let's face it, we like to sleep in.
Yesterday we made muddybuddies, and by we, I mean my sister Chloe, although I did offer to lick the spoon (turns out she already had several interested kiddos). We let them cool for as long as we could wait, translated as, as soon as they looked slightly chilled, they were out of the freezer and into bowls. Chocolatey, peanuty-buttery, powdered sugar dusted goodness that is naturally gluten-free, making it not only delicious, but a perfect mid-morning snack for everyone.
Chloe and Brennan played parcheesi while the others looked on, eating their muddybuddies and watching them like it was a game show. I might have even heard Brennan call, "five spaces for five thousand." But I could be wrong. I think Chloe won, although only by rolling lucky -- but then again, that's the whole nature of the game. Whatever the case, it was a perfectly lazy, lovely morning.
What do mornings look like at your house?
