Let me preface this next part by saying BECCA+MORNINGS+NUMBERS= NOT A GOOD MIX

I woke up about 7:15 to be sure I had enough time to make everything and get it all cleaned up. Usually Chris is on breakfast duty so I wasn't all that familiar with the recipe. On the back of the box there are two recipes; one for 6 pancakes and one for making the whole box. I obviously only wanted to make six so I put a cup of the mix in a bowl. Somehow at this point my eyes shifted downwards to the recipe for the whole box. I began melting 8 tablespoons of butter, and adding 4 eggs and 3 cups of milk. Yes, that's a lot of stuff and I'm sure at any other time of day I would have realized my mistake a lot sooner.

It wasn't until everything was in the bowl together that I thought to myself 'it seems like this batter is much thicker when Chris makes it'. I looked at the box and realized that (besides the 1 cup of mix)I had made the recipe that was for the whole box. I started laughing out loud to myself and figured it would be a huge waste unless I poured the rest of the mix in, so I did. By this time it was 8:00 and Chris woke up and came out into the kitchen to see my huge mess. He just thought it was funny and grabbed the spatula to start cooking. What a sweet husband!

Instead of me making him a nice breakfast, Chris ended up making a box full of pancakes for us. No scrambled eggs, no cute powdered sugar hearts. We made a few heart-shaped pancakes for each of us and made the rest of them just normal. Needless to say, we have been eating pumpkin pancakes for breakfast and lunch ever since.

I guess there is a reason why Chris is always the one to make breakfast.
