Nostalgia.
When I make chocolate chip pancakes I think of my childhood and the sleepovers I’d have at my friends house. There were three of us and we were so bad. We’d hide and jump out to scare one another, have surprise colored marker battles and once I remember my friend getting locked in her dogs kennel. Not my idea but I had a good laugh over it.
In the morning we’d wake up to the sounds of the dogs barking and then slowly head towards the kitchen to make pancakes. Which is where the skill comes from. Every now and then I burn the first one, it happens to best of us.
I love watching the air bubbles form on top. It’s oddly satisfying.
And when you’re able to successfully flip your pancake without any splatters or burns then you know you’ve done good.
For the sleepover last night my nephew packed four large plushies, a blanket, his suitcase with his clothes and his PS4. Haha, whatever it takes to get comfortable I guess!
After breakfast and a few chores, I decided to take some quiet time to myself. The kids were playing nicely together, which hasn’t always been the case. My nephew’s a Leo and 
I came downstairs to the kitchen to start lunch and
Miniature snakes on the floor! Now I understood why I heard my nephews footsteps. I laughed really hard at their attempt to prank me and both kids seemed pleased with themselves.
I went upstairs to tidy up the blankets my nephew used during last night’s sleepover and spotted this on the chalk board. 🤣 What a bunch of goofballs.
