My day started at 7:15am when I went over to the school to get set up for the pancake breakfast. I didn't do much of the cooking (anyone that knows me well knows that I'm not really interested in cooking) but I did do set-up and serving of the pancakes. Oh yeah, and I was a rock star syrup pourer! We served over 300 kids in just under 2 hours. 7 griddles cooking pancakes for 2.5 hours and well over 600 pancakes made and everyone had a ton of fun!
Here are some pictures of James and his little kindergarten friends (and a few of our bigger kid family friends too of course).
Thanks to Kelly Davies for snapping this quick pic of me giving James his pancakes!
hahahahahaha....yup, I attempted to cook...and it didn't turn out good at all! In my defense I did not have a non stick pan so of course the batter stuck to it like crazy! After this I stuck to syrup pouring and all worked out perfectly!
This was not even half of the pancakes that were made

Later that afternoon when Jim was out of school for the day we headed over to help James (and his big buddy Dane's) classes decorate gingerbread men. I helped with the cookies while Jim did classroom supervision to help out the teachers. By the end of the day, I think (and hope) they appreciated the help we were able to give and we both had a good time so it was a win/win for everyone. I love seeing how much James loves having us there at school with him, it makes me so glad that I am able to find some time in our busy lives to help out.

James was very exciting to get to play with Lego during center time in Mr. O's classroom
Overall, a wonderful day for both me and James (and Daddy too I think)!
And a huge THANK YOU to Nana and Papa for keeping Jordie for us so we could make the time to spend in James's classroom too. We really do appreciate all that they do for us that enables us to make special time for either of the boys.
