New England is under a heatwave right now, so the idea of turning on the oven is just plain silly. I considered the leftover spaghetti for me and the kids (Hubby was late headed to school from work due to traffic so he unfortunately got McDonald's) but the I realized that there wouldn't be anything to eat at work today. Actually, I had brought the spaghetti to work today to eat at lunchtime. Unfortunately, I brought the spaghetti but no utensils. Eating spaghetti with your hands, especially at work, is not appetizing. So instead, I headed out for some lunch.
Kids and I had pancakes, bacon and strawberry-banana smoothies. And the kids insisted on helping cook...something that I usually encourage wholeheartedly but was difficult last night. I make the pancakes on an electric griddle and the bacon on a griddle on the stove, and these are on opposite ends of the kitchen. The boys wouldn't take no for an answer though, so Will broke up bananas for the smoothie. I turned my back on Will for a minute, to find Sean wiping down the counter of pancake batter. That was pretty cool! After swapping his Kleenex (clean) for some damp paper towels, I let him continue. No way am I discouraging the boys from cleaning ANYTHING! Will helped put away the baking powder and discovered half a bag of mini chocolate chips, so the last batch of pancakes had chocolate chips in them. Naturally, they were the best ones!
