Aubree is a Climber!

While working on the computer yesterday I turned around and found Aubree cleaning out our silverware drawer, while IN the drawer. Part of my morning routine is folding up all our folding chairs around our table to help keep her grounded to the floor.

She loves to quickly climb on our table and take off running it's length back and forth (as many times as possible before we catch her), laughing the whole time, and usually taking a moment to spin the light above. The smart gal has learned to duck while running underneath the light.

A friend of mine posted this recipe on her blog and I just had to pass it along. We tried it this morning for breakfast and loved them (especially the part that we had left over mix and can quickly make up another batch another day!). I even added a little bit of flax seed meal to my dry batter.

Cinnamon Oatmeal Pancakes
4 cups cooking oats
2 cups flour
2 cups whole wheat flour (If you don't have whole wheat you can do all white or even some oat flour)
1 cup non-fat dry milk
3/4 cup sugar
2 T cinnamom
2 t. salt
5 T Baking powder
1/2 t cream of tartar
1 t. baking soda.

Combine ingredients and stir to mix well. Put in a large airtight container. Store in a cool dry place. Use within 6 months

Mixing directions:
In a large bowl, beat 2 eggs. Beat in 3 T oil gradually. Alternately stir in 2 cups of pancake mix and 1 cup of water. Drop by spoonfuls onto a lightly greased skillet. When the batter shows broken bubbles, turn the pancakes over. Cook about 2-3 minutes.
