Earlier today I was on a mission for pancakes. When I get a craving I cannot move on with my life until I satisfy it!
By the time I got home and showered it was 1pm so I had to find 1.) a place that was still serving breakfast and 2.) a fellow mid-day pancake date.
I ended up at a hole in the wall place that’s open until 2:30pm – score!
As expected I got the pancake combo because I wanted eggs too. I thought I asked for no sausage, but they forgot. I brought it home for Ben.
And my date… Matt, my little brother 
But, my date lost interest in small talk when he found a newspaper left in our booth. I know I’m partial, but this kid is a smart cookie!
Happily waiting for pancakes!
The rest of the day included errands and getting some very very bad news. A very close friend lost their sister today 
Please pray for the family.
Dinner - Ben had to work today so we haven’t hung out much this week. A dinner out was in order and we hit up a local Mexican place.
I got fish tacos. I didn’t expect them to be fried and was disappointed until I tasted them – much better than I expected! 
I ate one and shared the other with Ben for some of his beans and rice. 
I haven’t had one bite of veggies today so I ordered a green salad on the side.
Not that Crap Free Week was completely crap free, but it’s over now I have a treat lined up for just this occasion…

Crazy coincidence, we lost a family friend {female} today as well. Crazy thing is that it happened really quickly. They are thinking it was because of a mosquito infected with Lyme disease! They just took her off of life support today. Prayers going out to your friend!
Aw how cute that you went on a pancake date with your little brother! I have a 8 year old brother and I take him out to lunch with me all the time. It’s so much fun.
Your brother is adorable! I love that he was so interested in reading the paper. That’s awesome!
I’m so sorry about your friend’s sister. I’ll keep them in my thoughts.
Cute date.
I’m sorry to hear about your friend.
I am sorry for the loss in your friend’s family.
How did you like the Breyer’s treat? I have not tried those yet, and I am wondering if they are better than my normal Skinny Cow truffle bars and ice cream sandwiches.
I enjoy your blog!
glad you had someone to satisfy your pancake cravings with!!
So sorry for your friend and her family. Dealing with death is so hard! Many prayers for them.
Pancakes are awesome, but I think I like soft, chewy waffles better. But I never make them because I don’t have a waffle iron!
Kids are the best company for those crazy cravings! Those pancakes look so good! I swear, dives have the best pancakes!
YAY for the amazing pancake date – your little brother looks so cute!
Sorry you got bad news.
But on the brighter side your date is super cute!!! And those fish tacos look delicious! I know one time I ordered fish tacos and they said it was fried. I immediately asked if they could have them made grilled for me instead. I was happy they could!
Your brother is really cute, cute and smart, lol! I’d definitely go for a pancake combo, too! Love pancakes! I have them every single morning, it’s part of our morning rituals at home. My four kids simply love it, too.
I hope your friend’s coping up.
