Early Bird Special and Mistaken Identities

Yesterday was just weird. I knew it was going to be a rushed afternoon since I had curriculum night for Max, so we decided to make it an easy dinner night.

I blame Kelsey for the extreme muffin cravings I have had lately. So, since there was a banana that wanted to be baked sitting on the counter (yes, my food talks to me) and a few in the freezer that were just hanging out for the right moment, I decided gluten free banana muffins were going to be made to go along with the easy dinner. Max could not wait for them to cool before he was staking claim on his muffins. He is just like his mama, he likes those crispy edges!

Dinner was so delicious and totally hit the spot! While I was in charge of baking, the illustrator was in charge of cooking. I did not plan to have him cook for me, but he wanted to and since I had to run out the door at 5:45 for school, I was not complaining. This was his creation from a month ago and he has been dying to make it for me.

He made an egg white omelet with sauteed mung bean sprouts, peppers, onions and hummus (with a muffin on the side)! I am not sure he could have figured out another way to get protein in this without actually putting meat in it. You have to try hummus in your omelets or tofu scrambles (whatever you prefer). It really is a perfect compliment to the eggs and veggies. You will not be disappointed!

Mistaken Identity Moment:
So, I got this email yesterday from one of Jay's teachers. She said that he had been given detention for being late to class 3 times (remember school has only been on for 2 weeks now). I asked if he told her why he had been late. She said that he was coming from band and that he needed to get quicker. Now, I know where Jay's classes are (on the 2nd floor of the school and at the very end) and the band room is seriously on the complete opposite side of the school on the first floor. So, I was a little upset that they would start to get on to the kids this soon. I asked Jay when he got home from school, if he had anything he wanted to tell me. He looked at me like I was crazy. Then I asked if he was having a hard time getting to this teachers class after band. He said "no" and that he didn't even have that class after band, he said he has that class 2 periods before band. So, I emailed the teacher...come to find out there is another kid in a different class with the same first name and last initial as Jay. Um, yeah, that was kind of a big mistake. Luckily, I talk to my kids. So, lesson here...everybody makes mistakes. It still bugs me that she didn't make sure which parent she was emailing. She did apologize to me and Jay...and then she gave Jay candy.
