Sunday mornings are for cuddles is the Facebook post I put up 
this morning and it was true.  We all snuggled in bed this morning 
until about 9am and then of course we paid for it by needing to rush
 around later.  Gord was heading to his parents place to put the 
cover on our trailer for winter so I had to make the boys breakfast
 (they were pretty hungry by then).  I made them both scrambled 
eggs, and easy favourite for them.  But for myself I don't care for 
eggs too much so I decided to throw together an oatmeal breakfast
 bowl.  I gathered ingredients that I had in the kitchen and threw
 together a combination of Raspberries, banana, almonds and 
peanut butter!  I wasn't sure how it would all turn out but seriously
 it was so good!
