Happy Anniversary to Us

Sometimes, a mama’s just gotta brag.  This is one of those times.

Perhaps Scott mentioned our anniversary coming up.  Perhaps we told them we were going to get them a babysitter for our celebration.  I’m sure it was discussed.  But, falling into that ‘wow, they pick up on more than we give them credit for’ category, would be what we woke up to this morning:

In case you can’t see it, it says, and I quote: “Ha99y Pth Anavrzary!” spelled out in two sets of Uno cards.  Oh, and a homemade ‘Texas’ flag that Patrick is holding.  (??)

The boys made us breakfast all by themselves!  Buttered toast, iced oatmeal cookies, and Rice Krispies with the milk already poured.  (Too bad it had been poured about half an hour before we got up!)  Mine even has chocolate milk in it!  My favorite!  We’re unsure the role the bottle of Fantastik played in the making of the breakfast…

But seriously, folks!  These sweet little boys not only remembered our special day, they remembered that it was our 9th!  Making breakfast?  Who would have thought of that?  Marriage is a gift in and of itself, but children are considered the ‘supreme gift of marriage’  So, yeah, Scott didn’t need to get me anything for our anniversary.  Our precious kids are gift enough!  Happy Anniversary to us!
