Late church

With all of our moving, it seems like we have been on the early schedule (8:30 or 9) for church for the last 4 years. For the last couple of months our entire family has been counting the weeks until the new year and our new "late" church. To celebrate, we slept in and made pancakes for breakfast. Maybe in the future we will put the time to better use, but yesterday,  we indulged.

 
Kate helping me make "pancakies" after dressing herself. Those are her two favorite skirts so she went with the ingenious plan to wear them both. She really wanted to wear that get up to church.
Lately she wants to help me cook everything. She is especially good at cracking the eggs. No surprise there.
You will also notice that the goose is a stand in for Baby Elmo. Baby Elmo was lost, but now is found. He disappeared in a friend's church bag last week and was reunited with Kate yesterday. It was a long week. Kate kept saying he was playing hide and seek and we were worried he was lost forever. Lucky that goose (she calls it Duck) was there to fill in.
