We began our morning with two huge pans of German Pankcakes. These are a favorite around here and I've recently had to double the recipe because everyone has seconds now. They are loaded with eggs, so I don't mind much. We sprinkle icing sugar and drizzle a bit of homemade syrup over them and they get eaten pretty quick!
After everyone was powered up for the day, we went out to finish working on the hill out back. It's been dirt for quite some time and I have dreams of green grass and a playground there in the future. We've been working hard at making sure the dirt is level and adding topsoil so that we can seed it. The big boys had fun taking turns on the tiller. It's good practise for them!
When the heat of the afternoon caught up with us, Grampa brought out some ice cream sandwiches from DQ. The littles were pretty excited about it! Sawyers melted all over his lap and down to his elbows, so he ended up taking a good ol' country bath afterwards with a tub and the water hose. While he played in the water, the rest of us got back to work. Once he'd had enough I brought him in to dress him and then he hung out in the greenhouse while we watered and checked on things. He got lost in his own imagination, pushing around a toy car, making sound effects and ignoring everything around him. I love watching kids play!
