I feel like I packed a whole weekend into our Sunday! ^^Wild child.
I woke up with this sting ray on me. I never know what’s coming next!
Sunday morning I made pancakes. I’ve been out of flour and pancake mix for a while and keep forgetting to buy more, so I’ve just been making Anne’s banana egg pancakes, which are so easy to whip together (it’s also the best way for me to get eggs into Mazen).
Question for Anne: why didn’t you name these Annecakes?! I think I’m going to do that for you 😉
“Mommy can I help you put the dishes in the dishwasher?” I THOUGHT YOU’D NEVER ASK!! 🙂
Soccer is starting up next week, so since the weather was so great on Sunday, I got together with a few players on my team for some pick-up.
Mazen put on his shin guards and cleats to get some “training” in himself (his word, not mine!). His season starts up in about a month or so.
We played around for about an hour and then I headed to Beer Run for lunch with Wendy and Jess.
This was the winter salad with squash, olives, goat cheese, and blood orange. So good! Plus some shared bacon and a little taste of pimento cheese.
Mazen and I played in the yard all afternoon
My friend Gina was getting rid of a hammock stand, and I happily took it off her hands. We played games in the hammock for a while. Boat, tent, Big Bad Wolf, etc. M has such a great imagination!
Sunday night we grilled hamburgers on the charcoal grill.
Before:
After:
We only had two buns because this was a Blue Apron dinner, so I gave mine to Mazen and went bunless. If there’s a meal where I go lower in carbs, it’s dinner, so I didn’t mind. My burger was darn good!
I know I put in a teaser for a weekend getaway, but that trip fell through, so we just did a President’s Day day trip on Monday. I’ll be back to share that recap tomorrow!

What’s the correct link to the pancake recipe? When I click on your link I get a frozen yogurt Facbook page.

Apologies. This is it.

Grilling hamburgers seems so fun. I wish it was common to have a grill out here!

Haha, that sting ray is too funny! I love how children start to really want to help with real chores / responsibilities. It was amazing to see this in action when I taught in a Montessori classroom – children sweeping, mopping up spills, setting the table, wanting to help clean the tables and windows – they just want to be part of the community!

I love open-faced for burgers. It can be little tricky to pick up, but the burger and topping to bread ratio is much better!

Lol to “Annecakes!” Love it! 🙂

I just tried the “Annecakes” for the first time this weekend and I loved them! I ate them around 8, and they kept me fueled through a Crossfit workout at 12. And I didn’t feel starving after the workout (which is common for me). Best. breakfast. ever.

My 4 year old son has that same sting ray, and of all his millions of stuffed animals, it’s one of his top 5. He’s brought it on every trip and to preschool show and tell. It’s so random. I think his is from an aquarium gift shop!

Hope you have a fantastic week! x

Oh man! I know jealousy is a sin, but I am so jealous of your weather! Looked like a summer weekend! Our house is still buried under two feet of snow in New England and I’m sure more is on the way… hopefully a weekend like that by April! :/ ok enough moaning- we did have a nice weekend here too and it melted a few inches away 🙂 yay for soccer starting up- you must be excited and wahoo team captain!!
