Things I can check off the list

If I had a list of things to see before I die, it might look like the list of things I have seen this week.

• I have been accepted, paid the tuition for and finished the entrance exam into university
• I have taken Leópold to school with out him crying
• I have come home to see that my older children not only finished their homework, they also signed for each other in reading
• I been, myself in the gym and on the treadmill, at 7:00 a.m.
• I have a piece of tooth in my wallet*

*while I never, ever, thought I would lose a chunk of front tooth for seemly now reason, and while it makes me sad and I know it will cost a fortune to fix, it is kinda cool to look at.
On that note, my 8:30 appointment at the dentist on Friday can not come soon enough, until then, I refuse to smile.

Stefán and Einar

Stefán is begging for a camera with sound, but for now they just have to deal with mine, the silent type.

The Light and Fluffies

The results are in, if there was any contest, these are by far the best pancakes ever. 'American Style'
They are called 'Light and Fluffies' for a reason, and meant to be eaten with butter and syrup although they do actually taste good enough to be just eaten alone as well.
Thanks to Amanda, my first couchsurfer coming from Nunavut, and the Hanson's kitchen for this - better then Bisquick, and I'll save a fortune.
