Pancake Tuesday!

Today when I picked Hayden up from school, I told him that it was Pancake Tuesday and we would be having pancakes for dinner. Well, he didn't believe me. Stopped dead in his tracks and screwed up his face and insisted that I must be joking. We don't have pancakes for supper. He's right---I think we've missed it every other year, and we definitely joke with him enough that it's understandable that he would have doubts. But they were yummy! We had bacon too.....I can count on one hand the number of times Scott and I have bought bacon in the 13 years we've lived together. Two of those times have been in the past month, LOL.

Two of Hayden's cousins came over for a couple of hours tonight too.

So this is Hayden and his cousin Kaden, scarfing down their pancakes. Yes, Hayden and Kaden have rhyming names. They have the same last name too. Oh, and they were born 2 months apart. They've heard the story about their names too many times; Kaden was due in early May and his parents had his name picked out for months, but didn't tell anyone. Hayden wasn't supposed to be born until June 1st, but he arrived in March. We had NO name picked out and just happened to decide on Hayden a few days after he was born- It was the only name we both liked. Since we lived 3 hours away at the time, Scott's brother and sister-in-law decided that the similar name really wouldn't be that big a deal. Well, we screwed that one right up and decided to move back to the same city that same year. Oh well, they don't seem to notice :)

Kaden, dear, the fly is supposed to be in front.

Kyah is one of those 'little mothers'. She's so good with the little kids and Maddie and Hayden just love her :)
