We are excited that fall is here. And the mornings have finally felt like fall. We are getting back to being able to spend our weekends how we best like them: my dad and I take a long walk in the morning while my mom makes something hearty and warm for our breakfast. Then it is nap time.
My dad and I pretty much wanted to sleep the entire afternoon away. My mom tried for hours and hours and even more hours to wake us up. My dad was only interested in getting out of bed if my mom made cookies for us. We didn't have all of the ingredients for our favorite (peanut butter chocolate chip) so I whipped up a batch of banana bread instead. another perfect loaf.
Since I have displayed my culinary expertise, my mom has already had the talk with me about when I will start making dinners. Trinity, who began subscribing to Martha Stewart Living when she was quite young, was a masterful chef and baker at an early age. (What couldn't she do?) I guess the same is expected of me. We do love to bake. Not only do I enjoy my treats, but baking also serves as a good math lesson (for my mom) . . . especially when we have to calculate half of 1 3/4 cups when making a smaller batch of bran muffins.
After nap and baking and snacking, my dad and I went to the lake. My mom had a pot of potato cheddar soup waiting for us when we got home.
The best part is that I seem to be in the midst of another growth spurt so I can eat 50 servings of yummy food each meal. The downside is that I cannot wake up.
