Tonight Buttercup decided to put some toothpaste on the bathroom mirror, I told her she needed to clean it up. When I went in later, she had cleaned the mirror with a paper towel (as requested)...I need to be more specific in the future to say I want something cleaned with cleaner :)

@RachelCruze RT@rickwarren: Little people belittle people. Great people make people feel great.

Saying off twitter

@jonathanstark You owe it to yourself and the world to find work you love and devote yourself to it.

Tuesday evening dancing

Spent Tuesday evening dancing with Princess, Buttercup, & Tinkerbell to the song "Dance Me Daddy" by Cindy Morgan.

Princess Birthday Date

Really enjoyed taking Princess to 'Paint Yourself Silly.' Princess painted the big horse and I attempted the small one.

Buttercup drawing

Our little Buttercup drew this picture! I think it is really good for a 5 year old! [edit] she put a crown and long hair on her drawing now!

Pancake morning

I enjoy the opportunity to make pancakes from scratch for the family!

2 eggs, 2 cups milk, @ 1/8 cup vanilla extract, @ 2 TB Olive oil, 2 1/3 cups flour, @ 4 TB brown sugar, 1 tsp pumpkin spice, 1 TB baking powder, pinch of salt. This makes about 30 4" pancakes!

My wife taught me if you let the batter set @ 30 minutes after mixing, the pancakes appear to be fluffier!

Sometimes I like to add chocolate or butterscotch chips, @ 2 tsp cinnamon, or raspberry syrup (Valentine's day).
