Pancake Love

Jake, a few weeks back, said he wanted pancakes.  Pink pancakes, to be exact.  Since then?  It's a daily request.   (He doesn't get them EVERY day but he does ask every day!!!).  Breakfast, lunch, dinner... he thinks every meal is enhanced by pancakes.  Pink pancakes.  Why pink?  Probably has something to do with the book Pinkalicious, although Jake assures me he does NOT want to turn pink (the girl in the book does by eating too many pink foods... ).

This pancake fixation is lovely thing, as both Genevieve and Bentley also eat pancakes.  Do you know how rare it is to find a breakfast food that all 3 agree is a great option?  Very rare!  Bentley, almost a year ago, gave up waffles.  It was a sad day for me.  It probably coincided with when I went out to the store to stock up on 10 packages of waffles.  That's how it goes, right?  It's all okay as Viva then took up the waffle torch.  But Bentley won't touch them anymore.

Cereal?  Only if it's without milk for Bentley.  Jake and Viva will eat it with milk.  Chex, cheerios, and corn flakes are the favorites.  But do all 3 of them want cereal on the same day?  Not likely!  

Yogurt?  Jake enjoys but not Viva and Bentley.   Muffins?  Bentley and Jake adore but Viva not so much.  Fruit?  Unless it's grapes or a berry Bentley won't touch it.  Sausage and bagels?  Crowd favorites but never for everyone at the same time, of course.

Don't worry, rest assured, I don't humor them by *cooking* 3 different meals.  But if it can be taken out of the pantry or freezer with ease, I don't mind if they have different food choices.  That being said?  I'm thrilled with the pancake love... we'll see how long it lasts!

Here they are with their beloved pancakes.  (Syrup and whipped cream, if you were wondering, for Jake and Viva.  Bentley, of course, prefers his plain.  I sneak the butter on for the calories.  Don't tell him!!!).

Sun glasses are always in style.  And very practical.  Put on the glasses or close the shades?  We prefer to bask in all the sun we can get.
