I wanted to share a couple of random things that we have loved around here on these cold, rainy days.

1. The Pioneer Woman’s Lemon Blueberry Pancakes.

These are no joke. I don’t know if they are best for breakfast or dessert {or apparently both, as was the case for me yesterday}. Make them right away. You will not regret this.

I didn’t take any pretty “foodie” shots of our pancake breakfast but I did snap this photo on my phone of my boys devouring {literally, Ben ate FOUR} this goodness {yes, we ate right on the counter, we couldn’t even restrain ourselves to act like civilized people and walk the extra four steps to the table}….

2. I actually did a “pinned” craft project. I know. I’m impressed with myself too. Thank you very much.

I apologize to the original pinner. My sister texted me this photo, so I don’t have the actual pin to link back to in order to give credit where credit is due.

This was a big success. Granted, anything that explodes will appeal to my boys. So, I don’t know if that’s saying too much. But it kept everyone entertained for a solid twenty minutes. That is a success in my book.

Now, we didn’t have an eye dropper or an assortment of food coloring, but we made do with green dye and one of the little liquid medicine syringes. Why do we have hundreds of those little things anyway?

Now, if I can just find the motivation to get up from the warm sofa and the cozy blanket to put away the laundry that’s taunting me from the corner…

I hope you all are enjoying your Monday!
