Yesterday Tommy read a book to the kids while I made dinner. It was The Berenstain Bears COOK-IT! Breakfast for Mama. I heard Howie talking about how he wanted to do what the book said and make breakfast in bed for mom. I told them I would enjoy that in the morning if they wanted to do it for me. There had to be surprise involved, I couldn't know about it. Then Tommy and Howie made a code, a wink, when they told me they would do this for my birthday, not tomorrow. Howie woke up early and got Tommy out of bed to make my surprise breakfast in bed. I had to do the selfless thing and stay in bed. It was hard, but I managed :) So this morning as I tried to sleep in a long as possible, I tried not to envision the huge mess I was hearing being created downstairs. Then I enjoyed french toast with a side of banana in bed, complete with breakfast tray made out of a cardboard box. Once Howie gets something in his head, there is no stopping him.
Thank you Berenstain Bears. Do you have a book about chores??? That would be heavenly.

So cute! I just love it when kids get so excited about the little things! And, yes...CHORES would be great!
You mean they didn't clean up the kitchen? that's unthinkable.
