Bentley has gotten to do some cooking when he goes camping for scouts, and he's decided that breakfast food is both delicious and totally manageable for him, so he'd been asking for a chance to do this. And with everything being canceled in case Hurricane Florence hit us (which it didn't), this weekend proved to be a perfect opportunity!
I did send Craig downstairs just to be on hand in case they needed any help, but Bentley and Kendra pretty much did it all. They made French toast, bacon, and omelets (with tomato and cheese)! It was all delicious and everyone was happy.
And just when I thought it couldn't get any better, Craig hopped up and cleaned the kitchen for me AND started the dishwasher, leaving me with nothing to do but go downstairs to try and exercise it all off!
I was so proud of my hard working kids!

Also of note: the pajamas Camille is wearing were given to us from some friends in Manassas (Kim & Dave Stevens) when Bentley was little. I believe they are the only pajamas that ALL FIVE of our kids have worn-- how random is that? They've held up remarkably well, though, even if I feel that the camo look sends a very different message here than it did 11 years ago in northern Virginia...

I love those moments where I realize things are getting better! We've had several moments recently where we've realized Gareth is turning out to be a pretty responsible, mature kid. And Mal is starting to be able to be reasoned with occasionally as well, so there's hope for the future!
