Yes, that’s right! February 12th is National Pancake Day! Oh Hells yeah! Bust out your trusty fork,  vat of syrup, & bib! Who doesn’t love a pancake?  Even I, who have not eaten anything non-healthy in a  very long time, will be participating in this holiday!  Mmmm…yeah…Mrs. Butterworth and I are going to  get our grooves on!

On a more serious note, this whole IHOP Pancake Day thing is a really awesome thing. As their website states:

Join IHOP to celebrate National Pancake Day on Tuesday, February 12, 2008. From 7 a.m. to 10 p.m., we’ll give you one free short stack (three) of our famous buttermilk pancakes.* All we ask is that you consider making a donation to support local children’s hospitals through Children’s Miracle Network, or other local charities.

Lonnie and I are going to take the kids and donate $2 each. For only $8, we will get to eat out…and we’ll be donating to a good cause. We’d donate more if we could afford it, but our budget’s still super tight. I think all of you people who live close to an IHOP should partake in this event! Why not? Even if you can’t afford to donate anything, it’s still cool to get out of the house and eat a meal you didn’t have to cook. Don’t forget to take pictures of your Pancake Day celebration! I am certainly going to!
