The weekend is for pancakes in this house. We could and sometimes do make pancakes on a weekday but they are mostly reserved for the weekends, and they are best eaten in bed.
Since we have an 11 year old and a 5 year old, sprinkles and/or chocolate chips are a must for pancakes. This weekend we opted for sprinkles.
I love a slow start to the weekend. This one started with us all outside, watching the chickens free-range first thing. I started planting the last remaining plants that have needed transplanted into the ground in the garden. I also got some sunflower seeds sown.
This weekend was good. As the heat increased on Sunday, we went swimming at a local campground. It was extra special because the cousins are still in town and were able to join us!
As we start this new week, I realize it’s our last week before Laney begins her STEM-like summer program with the school. She’ll be going to school 8am-12pm Monday - Thursday for the month of July. It’s bittersweet to send her, but I know it will only help prepare her for her first year of full days at school this Fall.
Next week is our last week with the cousins in town. Time really does fly when you’re having fun! We’ve also just been so busy with them here. I’m both sad to have to say goodbye and also looking forward to slowing down a bit after they go home.
