For some strange reason, my boys, especially D’angelo thinks he is the boss of me. He thinks that I’m his maid or personal chef and tends to place multiple orders for breakfast on the weekends.  They usually wake up and inquire about the breakfast menu. D’Angelo is super dramatic and always claims that he is sooooooooo hungry, as if I’m going to speed up the process or cause me to move at the speed of lightning per his request.

If I’m cleaning my kitchen and it takes me 1000 hours to do so; they’re gonna have to WAIT. Whenever I’m done, is whenever breakfast will begin.  During the cleaning process, I often get several visits from them. So to shut them up, I made this fruit platter to stave of their hunger until breakfast was done. I must have replace the grapes a million times before I took this photo. They were super sweet, and the boys just kept messing with my fruit platter.

My brilliant idea worked! The boys weren’t starving anymore and they had lots of energy to do whatever they were doing, and I was able to clean my kitchen in peace, until  it was time to prepare breakfast. Everyone wanted pancakes, so I made cornmeal pancakes with gruyere cheese. I should have taken a photo, but I was more interested in the fruit platter photo shoot. And to top it off, D’Angelo didn’t want pancakes, he wanted waffles. And being the awesome mother that I am….I made him the waffles.  Maybe that was the reason, I wasn’t in the mood to take any photos. He worked me like a slave!
