Saturday Snapshot: Brewmistress

One of the very first "chores" we asked of Darren and Sarah was to "help Mommy count the scoops." Each morning from their high chair perches they'd chirp in unison, "One! Two! Three! Four! Five! Six! Seven! Eight!" as I doled the spoonfuls into the coffee filter.

This morning as we were still lazing in the bed, Double Daddy jokingly heckled Sarah, "We need to teach you how to make coffee!"

No more incentive was needed!

How's your weekend looking---or sounding---so far?

Post a picture...or two, or three...and share a peek!

NICE!! And good to know that our daily routine of having the kids help us count out scoops is going to have a BIG payout in the not-too-distant future ;)
