Morning Update

Today Goose woke up early and Husband got her and brought her into bed. Fortunately she fell asleep again and everyone was able to sleep in. She is currently writhing around on the floor.
T-Bone and William are playing something downstairs invovlving their castle legos.
Boon Dog is still here.
Janey is enjoying an extra long sleep in; she finished up her science fair project last night.
Beulah is sleeping in but when awake is contemplating the shape of her eyebrows.
Husband's knees are recovering from our trip to the office yesterday when we glued the the trimmed carpet pieces to the wall. It looks MUCH better now.
I am wondering if I'm going to make breakfast cake this morning. I probably will, and here is the recipe:
2 c. flour (we like whole wheat)
1 T. baking powder
1 t. salt
1 c. sugar
1/3 c. butter.
Mix the above ingredients (I actually use my bare hands; using a pastry cutter would be better but I don't have one) until the butter is pea-sized.
Add:
2 eggs
1 c. milk
1 heaping T. sour cream
1/2-1 c. berries.
Put in a 9 x 13 pan.
For the topping:
Mix 1/2 c. brown sugar, 1 t. cinnamon, 1/3 c. flour and 1/4. butter (add a lot more brown sugar, because everyone always wants more. Or maybe just double everything; I always kind of wing this part) until crumbly. Sprinkle on top of the cake and bake for thirty minutes at 375.
Lately the topping has been sinking in. I think it's a result of the type of wheat I use. I'm not much of a presentation person so it don't care where the sugar is as long as I can taste it. :)
