“Mom, for breakfast can I have French toast, a sunny side up egg and a sunny side down egg?”
I’d have included a photo here, but the meal was devoured before I could locate my camera.

Dude, I’ll be there in an hour — dirty, messy, still in my PJs, but I’m assuming you’ll still feed me, right?

Sure. Call in your order first, OK? (We’re running low on “Daddy juice,” by the way. Apple or OJ only.

Where you just at my house? I’m not kidding! My 6 yr. old just devoured everything I put in front of him. And because french toast and was not enough I had to make him (scrambled) eggs, too. And just minutes ago he polished off a bowl of cereal – because, as I told him, the kitchen was closed.
Yep. I have one kid who eats breakfast until it’s lunch time. One kid who nibbles throughout the day until dinner, when she is finished with her meal practically before I sit down, and one kid who eats everything all the time (unless she is decorating the walls with food).

“The Kitchen is closed.”
Love this, Jane.
I think I’ll make a banner and put it up, um, permanently. I’m so tired of making MEALS all day, every day. I know they have to eat but…really? REALLY? Meals, snacks, drinks, more meals, more snacks, and a couple drinks for Mommy thrown in, right?

One kid likes scrambled eggs. One likes pancakes. One likes fried eggs with a runny yolk. And they all like their toast in different shades of brown. Sigh.
I just wanted to say that your “toast in different shades of brown” made me spit coffee out my nose. Not only is it so TRUE, but SO telling!! Ha!
And I bet you eat standing up, right? After everyone else if finished?

Love it! (Hmm. French toast. A good addition to the menu for our visitor. Now about that sunny side down. Tough one.)

I know, “sunny side down,” isn’t that the best? I told him it’s called “over easy,” but he just looked at me funny. So, sunny side down it is.

Oh my Goodness!!! My middle son is a bottomless pit. He will have at least three breakfasts in about an hour!! I am NOT looking forward to the grocery bill when they hit the teen age years:(
I’m with you, Maria. I’m gonna be living in the POOR HOUSE when my boys grow up! Seriously. I envision it already, and it’s painful!

What amazes me is where these young little kids get such a HUGE appetite. My son usually requests heart shaped waffles on saturdays.
So, since I know I won’t have them living at home for too much longer before they both go out into the big old world. I gladly make them their favorites every saturday.
Better buy chickens now so when he is a teenager you don’t have to pay for eggs. Just send him out to get some. LOL!

Seriously good thinking. Jen? You got some room in the yard, dontcha think?

Can you make dinner for my little one? She doesn’t like anything I cook. And she’s not even two yet. The horror.

Here we are, our brains already permanently shrunken from pregnancy, with too much on our mind, and then we’re supposed to actually cook several things at the same time? I readily admit that I’m not smart enough for that. They wouldn’t like the results. Really.

Linda, I love this. In every itty bitty way. I seriously don’t know how Jen does it. She’s a “cooker-baker extraordinaire!”
Twitter: Momalom
Mine ate four waffles, scrambled eggs with cheese and bacon bits, and fresh pineapple. Well, the big kid did. The little kid ate fruit and screamed to “I go pway now! I wan go pway now!” until I gave up on her and let her out of her booster.
I’d like my french toasted stuffed with peaches and drowned in powder sugar, please.
