But it makes me laugh.

Is this appropriate to have around in a child-filled house?

My measuring cup was half full.

Or, what a difference a cup makes. Or why multi-tasking really isn't all it's cracked up to be. Speaking of cracked up, I did get both eggs in the batter. Along with the sugars and vanilla. Then a break to pick up G at her friend's house. Then home and a phone call. Get the latte order figured out (2%, no whip). Then back to baking. Oh, wait, move the mixing bowl b/c now G is home and C was doing all the baking and the bowl is in G's way to eat the Moonpie she got at school today (no, really, she did).

So we're putting in the dry ingredients and then hand mixing in the chips and everyone wants a spoonful (3 of mine + 1 friend). Fast forward 9 minutes -- they're flat! As pancakes! Hmmm. I don't know says MM. But they sure do smell good!

Okay, now it's just back to me and C. Did we put in two big cups and one small cup? No, mom, it was one big cup and one small cup. Oops. Well, we can take care of that.

It really was a lovely afternoon....at least that's how I'm choosing to look at it.
