Help w/ Brinner

If you don't know what brinner is, it is breakfast for dinner. It is a favorite around our house because it is usually quick and easy. Tonight it was pancakes. Earlier this afternoon Jarik asked when I was going to start the meatloaf cups, a smaller version of meatloaf that Chels makes, and I told him since mom was sick that we weren't having them. He asked what we were having and I told him, pancakes. He got really excited and walked over to the cupboard where we have the griddle at and wanted to get it out and start cooking then and there. I told him that it would be a little while because I was straightening the counter space and cleaning up a little and that I would call him up when it was time. The time came and I called him up and he got the griddle out for me. Then he had to dump the pancake mix in the bowl and then the water. I decided to stir it up myself because it would have been a big mess if he would have done it. I started making the pancakes and he and Tiaree wanted to help flip them. Needless to say, I was a little nervous because I have issues flipping pancakes sometimes, you know flipping them and overlapping them. I don't have much coordination. Anyway, I decided to get pictures of the occasion because I thought that there would be problems. Little did I know that my kids were naturals at flipping pancakes. Here's the pictures.


Look at the concentration and determination.




If the keep this up I won't have to make pancakes anymore because they will do it.
