WHY DID I MADE BANANA BREAD AT 5AM?
Henry, our Kindergartener, came in and pounced on me this morning at 3am. After laying in bed wide away for an hour listening to him snore & his whole body draped over me, I realized I couldn't get back to sleep. I futzed around on the computer for an hour, then decided to do something fun & spontaneous. I have 5 over ripe bananas, that I was about to throw away, but instead threw this together to make use of them. Yummy, it's starting to smell good already, I can't wait to see the kids reactions when they wake up!
