What do these three things have in common? I'm sure you guessed it; all three appeared at my house this morning!
My second child lost her first tooth! She came home from school yesterday super excited to show me how loose her tooth had gotten. So, I touched it to see, and out it popped. She hadn't even realized it was gone until I showed it to her. She had it under her pillow for the toothfairy before one in the afternoon. And since my oldest started the tradition, she left a little letter for the toothfairy along with the tooth. The usual excitement over the visit of the toothfairy was present in our house this morning. Which was soon coupled with excitement over butterflies!!!
We found a couple of caterpillars in the garden a few weeks back. We learned the hard way that some caterpillars are cannibalistic. But the girls had fun watching the surviving caterpillar, and have checked on it every day since it entered its cocoon. This morning we were delighted to see the transformation. We greeted our little moth friend before we even had breakfast. I guess my title is a little misleading; yes, it's a moth not a butterfly. But he's so cute, and fluffy, and has beautiful cream colored wings.
An epic morning deserves an epic breakfast. On today's menu: buttermilk buckwheat banana waffles. Haha, say that five times fast! Ok, to be honest, I made buttermilk buckwheat pancakes the other day and had some left over batter that I needed to use up. I also had a huge bunch of bananas that ripened faster than we could eat them. Thus, I mashed up two of them and added it to the batter and made waffles. I'm not sure if the batter had sat too long, or I added too much banana, or what the deal was but the texture was a little off. They were too soft and floppy, not the wonderful, fluffy confection waffles are supposed to be. While they didn't stick to the waffle iron, I struggled to get them out because of how floppy they were. The next time I try banana waffles, I'm going to try it with fresh batter and see if that makes a difference.
It's only 9:30, and already this morning we've had quite a bit of excitement and my baby is down for her first nap. Thus, I'm off to get in a quick workout before getting as much housework done as possible before she wakes up. We're releasing our little moth friend this afternoon, so come back tomorrow for an update.
One thing is for sure, it's never dull in the Light house!
