To start the morning out, I was banished from our home. The kids were working on a surprise, and they didn't even allow me to be in my bedroom to wait. So, I went to garage sales (there aren't many on a Mother's Day morning, but I scouted them out anyway), I bought gas, and went back home. They said they weren't done yet, only 10 more minutes though. So Rob took me on a 20 minute walk. They weren't done when we got back, so they sent me to my room this time (am I in "time-out"), and around 30 minutes later I was finally called for breakfast.
Ok, it was worth it, waiting for breakfast until 10:30 A.M. this morning. My kids made a gourmet meal for me, nicer then the finest restaurant around, and there is not chance of me getting "glutened' here.
My plate looked like a serving platter itself. They made Baked Hashbrowns in a heart shaped pan, and then filled the center with my favorite recipe of scrambled tofu, garnished with fresh snow peas, and garden flowers, and served with homemade ketsup. I could not have a lovelier, more tasty meal anywhere.
And then after the meal there was music. An original composition by my children, sung by my children, in harmony, with my daughter on the piano, and my son sitting on a giant exercise ball, bouncing in rhythm. I am hoping to get them to sing it again soon, so I can make a recording to treasure forever.
If this is the fruit of a homeschool education, kids who can make a beautiful meal on their own, and compose and perform music without coaching, I'm all for it. I love these kids.
How beautiful! And they used FLOWERS to embellish your beautiful heart-shaped dish. Amazing kids. I give them an A++
