Sam woke up at 4:30 this morning. J and I stayed in bed for a while, waiting to see if Sam would go back to sleep. But he didn't. Then we took turns going in Sam's room, but Sam WOULD. NOT. SLEEP. He was wide awake. Finally, an hour later, I picked Sam up and told J to go back to bed. Sam and I would just stay up.
J went back to bed. For five minutes. All of the sudden, a huge flock of ravens started to swarm around a tree near our yard, caw-ing really, really loud. J came downstairs and tried to shoo the birds away, but to no avail. It was crazy. Right after we pick up Sam and get him to stop screaming, the ravens kick in.
So, we were all awake. To make the situation a little more pleasant, I decided to make blueberry pancakes. I quite proud of my pancake recipe - I think it beats any pancake mix. And we have a tub of fresh blueberries. Mmm. Eating warm blueberries (either in muffins or pancakes) is one of the nicest things in the world, even when I'm ridiculously tired.
I wish I could have taken a picture of us, eating blueberry pancakes at 5:30 this morning while ravens caw-ed in the background. Sam couldn't have been happier as he munched away on his pancake bits. J and I were bleary-eyed, staring at the wall with expressionless faces as warm blueberry juice trickled down our throats.

Wow. What an exciting morning. Will you make me blueberry pancakes next time I come visit? :)
good memory. So glad you got this down. I agree eating fresh blueberries in pancakes or muffins is the best. Hope everything is OK with Sam. Did the birds leave? Have you seen Hitchcock's "the birds". Might want to now.
Sounds like a great scene for a book or movie.
I can understand why Sam was upset. Those birds are awful. Personally, I'd only ever seen them in movies, then I moved to Cedar City and they have them and TONS of them. They are rather freaky looking and LOUD.
On a lighter note, I think this was such a sweet post. I can see you all eating blueberry pancakes!
