A Waiter & Chef on Mother's Day

This morning was a first as I was treated to breakfast in bed. I think the idea came about last Wednesday morning. The older boys wanted pancakes for breakfast and were told that I didn't have time. It was a busy morning due to getting ready for Bible study (CBS). Unbenounced to me, Carter ended up making the pancakes all his own while Cole prepared their school lunches. What a surprise blessing for that day! I highly encouraged this behavior and told them how much I loved what they did on their own. Marbles were earned for their Gotcha jar. Carter is a great chef. He is a great in the kitchen for being nine and and a half.

On to this morning... I had a tap on my shoulder with two boys handing to me papers. They were menus for the morning. I had some choices.

It was so cute to see the menus. I had a handsome waiter (Cole) in his robe with his specialty tablet. He was told that he is the cutest waiter I have ever had. One side of the tablet read "Hi Mom" for me to view. He took my breakfast choices. I said pancakes he said plain or chocolate chip. I was surprised by the chocolate chip option for it wasn't on any menu. "Well, chocolate chip then - just a few." He did great in serving me my orange juice in our new ice cream sundae glasses from grandpa's house. He said Opps I made a mistake. It was pretty. Though hard to drink out of in my bed. He was the one who was given the opportunity to display the food on the plate since Carter was the chef. The presentation was magnificent. I think you'll agree.

ON a side note...

Last night Dave and I were discussing what our needs were for a SAM's run later this week. I mentioned Bisquick. His ears perked up and said "We are out of Bisquick?" Yes was my response. He later stated he needed to make a Schnucks run (grocery store). I asked why and figured it out. He and I both agreed to be pleasantly surprised. I am so glad I knew for I was awake earlier than they were this morning and would have gone downstairs to the kitchen for my eats.

Dave told me today that they planned the whole thing from menus to food. He had nothing to do with it except...accept it. He said This is Happy Mother's Day not Happy Wives Day.

Carter wondered when there will be happy kids day. I laughed. That's all the time in our home. Cole when being affirmed was just beaming. Stuart thought it was either my birthday or Dave's. He wanted to eat my strawberries in my bed with me.

I couldn't ask for a better day... breakfast in bed then sweet handwritten love notes. I also loved the salmon colored geraniums to plant under our mailbox later. Todays weather has been quite wintery. YUCK! We even had to get out our winter coats for church - No thank you.

I didn't have much time Friday to post about CCS Field Day. The event was a thrill for both boys. The shirts turned out wonderfully. Stuart even had fun in the childcare department while I served. He was estactic to receive a cupcake. Yes, the joys of a three year old. Enjoy the following pics.
