I’m linking up again today with the MOB Society‘s weekly reminder to brag about the terrific things our boys are doing.
Today was a great morning. I am thankful that the boys seldom have problems getting out of bed on school mornings (which is something I should remember in my grumpy, groggy state on Saturday and Sunday mornings when they wake me up before dawn … but I digress). Today, though, was even better than usual.
The older two decided to not only make breakfast for themselves, but they cooked over-easy eggs for the rest of the family, too! Needless to say, the younger three were VERY excited when they woke up to the smell of breakfast already on the table.
After the big two left to catch the bus, the younger guys asked if they could make their own lunches. Admittedly, it was more “work” to let them do it themselves, but they had such a fun time and were so proud of themselves. We even plucked a few pieces of green leaf lettuce from the garden (<<sneak peak for tomorrow’s Foodie Friday post! 😉 ) for their sandwiches.
Way to go, boys, for getting the day off to a great start! (Now, please keep it up and don’t get in trouble at school! 🙂 )

faith, sweat & tears 
yeah for them AND you!! super duper fun when they show effort to be more self sufficient and helpful. you must be setting a super example for them!
Yummy and fun…how wonderful for them to be able to do this for each other, and for themselves. Although I’m a wee bit jealous you have green – we have feet of snow! 🙂
Thanks, ladies! We had about a 15-minute snow “sprinkle” last week, and the boys were in hog heaven. It melted as soon as it hit the warm ground, though. :p
how great that they are so independent and willing to serve one another!!
Woo-hoo for them!!! Cute photos.
Great for them! Great for you! Enjoy!
it’s all part of letting them grow up..sometimes letting them help is more work NOW but that will all turn around! the memories made will be worth it when the day comes they won’t need the help they do now! great job boys!
