Pancakes

My family has a tradition. I make pancakes every Saturday morning. I have a nice griddle for the stove and I have it down so I can do it in almost any state of mind (or body). My five year old is my usual helper.

I am going to be gone this weekend...scrappin' with my friends. This morning my 8-yo figured out that I was not going to be around to make pancakes. *whine*whine*whine* "But mama, who's going to make us pancakes?" *whine*whine*whine*

"I can make the pancakes." said my 5-yo very confidently. I'd put her up against most 5-yos in getting through it with something close to edible at the end, but I still think daddy will have to help.

I think they can do without mama pancakes once in a while. you think?
