If your child loves the frozen pancakes that you simply heat up at the spur of the moment any time of the day then you will feel the same way I did when they run out. OH NO!  Instead of absolutely panicking I decided to turn this potentially horrible moment into something fun and exciting.  A fairytale ending of sorts.  Instead of the frozen circles we ripped out the pancake mix, that we happened to have stashed in the closet, and made our own.  I’m not just talking about regular circles, we made the famous Mickey Mouse ones and dressed them up with chocolate chips.  We used chips as eyes, nose, mouth, earrings, buttons, etc.  Creativity saved the morning.  I do believe we had more fun together that morning than we had all week.  It was truly exciting!  So, let your creativity rip next time you run out of a favorite.  By the way, the Mickey Mouse kind are now in high demand and come with the entire body!
