Breakfast on a snow day

There was a "wintry mix" this morning (North Carolina speak for cold and rainy with slick bridges), so the kids school is opening two hours late, which means even with sleeping in a bit, we could have a more fun breakfast than normal for a school day.

I made cinnamon rolls, but the kids also wanted oatmeal, so I made that, too (I guess they're carbo loading). Peter just has standard cinnamon and sugar in his oatmeal, Grace has sugar, but she likes the colored sugar that's used to decorate cookies in cool designs on the top of her oatmeal. Today was red and blue striped.

And me? I sauteed some apples and walnuts in butter and apple juice till the apples were soft and the walnuts just starting to get tender. Then I added peanut butter (a favorite oatmeal additive), honey, and dumped the whole thing into my oatmeal. YUM!

And now I get to read the paper (in the MORNING!!!) and drink my coffee! I LOVE snow days!
