We love her...

Miss Hannigan...
 
she's a big part of our lives here.
 
We sing her songs,
we quote her,
we love her.
 
Having a kid named Annie you see that play a lot.
(We are kinda lucky :)
 
My little sister's daughter has seen it too.

When they have clean up time at their house she actually says,
"Mom...say 'Get to work you rotten orphans!'
&
"Say 'You're gonna work until this dump shines like the top of the Chrystler building!'"
&
"Mom, don't help us...just walk around & yell at us!"
 
So...she calls them rotten orphans & makes them clean :)
 
& they love it!
 
At our house we like the line,
"We're not having hot mush for breakfast,
we're having cold mush!"
 
The kids groan but they actually love cold mush!
 
 
I get lots of requests for "morning mush" from the kids & today Annie brought her teacher a jar of it.
 
 
It was good practice for Annie writing
a recipe to pass along with the jar.
 
 
I love how she spelled Vanilla:
 
 
Morning Mush
 
                                         1/2 C Oats
                                         1T Peanut Butter
                                         1 container vanilla Greek yogurt
                                         Ground flaxseed
                                         Fresh or frozen berries
     
                                         Mix & Eat
 
We like the Dannon 2x protein vanilla greek yogurt
Frozen berries are actually fab in here!
 
Hope you get a chance to try a little morning mush.
Miss Hannigan would be proud :)

This post made me laugh! We quote Miss Hannigan, too. My children could rattle all those off and a few more as well!
