Even so, I cannot yet trust my younger children to pour their own milk, but then again they are only 3 and 5.EHPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08795389357517479909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2698519433629464876.post-26492893343272718222012-02-19T19:45:38.968-05:002012-02-19T19:45:38.968-05:00Great idea.

It's either scrambled eggs/bacon or pancakes/waffles. I love having the time to do this on the weekends. During the week it's only yogurt and cold cereal for us. No time for ordering up.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2698519433629464876.post-79796027687939903682012-02-15T18:41:50.486-05:002012-02-15T18:41:50.486-05:00We haven't gotten to the point where they cook...We haven't gotten to the point where they cook breakfast but that would be nice!kayce hugheshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05898907642085430188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2698519433629464876.post-49487492971217997382012-02-15T11:48:11.481-05:002012-02-15T11:48:11.481-05:00Pancakes are for weekends or special days.

Of course, my boys are older (11, 9, 7), but they pour their own cereal and milk every morning. Sometimes a bagel with cream cheese. (There is one problem with the self serve thing - the stupid milk in a bag concept here in Canada.....oh, whoops, we don't say stupid in our house....the ridiculous milk in a bag....it isn't manageable for the kids to open a new bag.). And I am *never* a short order cook in my house. You eat what I fix or you don't eat. I sometimes ask for input or suggestions, but in the end, I don't make special orders for each kid.Lisa Richhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03992644275543922274noreply@blogger.com
