Dear children,

Just a quick note to remind you that not every parental sacrifice has to be a big thing. Tonight, we were alone in the house together without any bread and only 3 pancakes left in the house for a bedtime snack.

Now, in our house, the pancakes are mine!!!

But tonight my loves, I sacrificed my pancakes for your gastromical pleasure. I even committed the crime of putting jam on one for Jake. Jam on a pancake is sacrilege in my book, but there you go.

You can thank me later.
