Dad's homemade pancakes (Halloween style)

So I gave my sister a little bit of a hard time this last week when she called me to tell me of these pumpkin rolls that she had made. I'm not talking about the yummy cream cheese filled ones I'm talking about a roll colored orange, and a green top. I told her wow you have way to much time on your hands. Well after I thought about it for a while I thought of the breakfasts my dad had made for us as kids. Just the little things like smiley face pancakes, or mickey mouse pancakes, or food coloring in our oatmeal. Silly little extra time consuming things that as a kid were the best most amazing breakfasts ever. So I thought why not? Why not take the few extra minutes to make my kids day that much more special. Today was my kids Halloween parade, so I woke up a few minutes early to make my dads buttermilk pancakes with a Halloween twist. I think they turned out pretty cute they not only made my kids smile, but I couldn't help but smile at what I had done for them and how happy they were. Now I thank my dad for the few extra minutes he spent on us kids to make our breakfasts special. Happy Halloween!!
Thanks Lisa for the motivation.

Yes Jaedens costume looks crazy, that's what happens when you lose your real costumes mask the week of, so the night before end up at Wal-Mart. Yes the selection is not very great for those that wait last minute he is supposed to be a skeleton lord
(don't ask me what that is. The picture looked way cooler on the package.)

  1. I've got to say, those turned out cuter than my "pumpkin rolls" did! I may have to try them tomorrow instead of my "frog faces and pig brains"
