I opened my eyes earlier than I wanted to Saturday morning only to see a proud expectant smile on Isabela's sweet bubbly face.
"MaaAAAAooooomy. I made breakfast for you and DaaaaAAAiiddy. Get out of bed and come see! Come on, get up!"
So with equal parts too-tired-to-fight-her-off and how-precious-is-this-? I stumbled out of my warm spot and across my cold wooden floor, into slippers, across the studio, through the dining room and into the bright kitchen. I had to search through squinted eyes for a minute scanning through the previous night's dinner dishes to find this friendly feast awaiting us.
And there they were. Mr. and Mrs. Owlcups with Swiss Miss shoved in their heads and a plate of 7 perfectly toasted slices of bread. As the smile on my mouth formed and before I could breathe out a groggy thank you, she told me she didn't do the cocoa yet becuase she wasn't sure if Mr. and Mrs. Owlcups could go in the microwave.
Raise your cocoa mugs my friends. A toast: To darling children who want to make us breakfast and to young women everywhere who have respect for dishware.
Cheers, xoAM
Precious!
ReplyDeleteI'll toast to that! :)
ReplyDeleteAwww, how sweet! :)
ReplyDeleteIsn't that sweet! I'm sure she was very proud. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat better breakfast could there be?! I love the concern about the owls and microwave. :)
ReplyDeleteThat is the sweetest thing! I love how she put the hot chocolate packets in the cups. Too cute.
ReplyDeleteSooo Cute! It's so sweet when our kiddies do such sweet things for no reason....just cause they love us. I awoke one early morning to a note placed on my face that read: "Don't get out of bed...we have a surprise for you." Breakfast in bed, complete with my fav magazine "Cottage Living", a vase with a dried flower from who-knows-where and a note on my paper napkin "We love you". Gosh! that's when you know you're doing something right.
ReplyDeleteThat's so fantastic. I wonder if you might consider a parenting book next, "how to get your kids to turn out wonderful"
ReplyDeleteSo sweet. I love that she just shoved the envelopes in the mugs because she didn't know whether they were microwave-safe. Awesome.
ReplyDeleteBravo to you for having the presence of mind to get a picture! How sweet!
ReplyDeleteoh my goodness this is such delight...
ReplyDeleteif one does have to get out of bed when one would rather sleep, this seems to be one of the best things one can wake up to...
HOW CUTE!
ReplyDeleteAnd I love your last comment in the post.
Awe dang! How cute!
ReplyDeleteSo sweet! And I LOVE Mr and Mrs Owlcups!!
ReplyDeleteawwwwww....
ReplyDeletehow cute is that!
:)
Oh my gosh how sweet is that! I love that she got the matching mugs! Hot chocolate for breakfast and toast~how thoughtful and awesome is that! Children can be so precious sometimes...I am so glad you got a picture to save this memory!!

So sweet! Your toast made me laugh. I hope one day my little girl will do something like this for me. Such fun. Thanks for sharing with us your delightful children.
ReplyDeleteMy nose is a bit tickly and my glasses must need cleaning after reading about this lovely gift to you.
ReplyDeleteThat is touchingly sweet! What a darling, sweetie!
ReplyDeleteone of life's greatest pleasures!
ReplyDeleteWhat a darling gift!! You described it so well and with a smile in your words. I had to laugh out loud. 7 pieces of toast!!
ReplyDeleteAh memories! So precious. To be saved for our rocking chair years.

How sweet! I think that might be the cutest story I've heard in a good long while :)
ReplyDelete:)) How wonderful! Isabela and Snoopy: toast chefs!!! She is really creative....cooking, sewing, embroidery, an appreciation for dishes... and she's beautiful! LOOK OUT Martha Stewart...there's a new girl in town!
ReplyDeleteYes, in indeed...total cuteness.
ReplyDeleteSooo cute!!! Thanks for sharing this story, makes my heart happy too <3
ReplyDeletethat is so stinkin cute. i love those owl cups! :)
ReplyDeleteThat is too sweet! I hope I will be lucky enough to have children as darling (and respectful of dishware) as yours some day. :)
ReplyDeleteI love the Mr. and Mrs. Owl cups. That was so sweety thoughtful of her. : )
ReplyDeleteoh my goodness anna!! how cute is that?? my daughter grace does things like that...its so freaking precious!
ReplyDeleteOoooo, that is the sweetest thing to wake up to in the morning (even if it is a bit early!!!). I was just curious, being an Australian and all, what is Swiss Miss???
ReplyDeleteOk, I've just read some other comments and realised Swiss Miss is hot chocolate, duh!!!
ReplyDeleteAdorable! This post made my day!
ReplyDeleteawwwww.... your family sounds too sweet!
ReplyDeleteOh man, I'll toast to that one! How sweet!
ReplyDeleteahww! that brought a tear to my eye. i hope my future kiddos are that sweet and smart.
ReplyDeleteA sweet story about a sweet little girl!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your sweet story. I love the way she put the Swiss Miss unopened in the owl cups!
ReplyDeleteAren't those owl mugs cute? I gave them to my sister for Christmas, and she was ecstatic!
ReplyDeleteThat is just adorable.
ReplyDeleteOh my, could she BE any cuter?
ReplyDeleteAlso, I am terribly jealous of Mr. and Mrs. Owlcups. :)
Way to go, Isabela!
I wake up with those same proportions almost every day! ("too-tired-to-fight-her-off and how-precious-is-this-?") Very thoughtful little one.
ReplyDeleteThat is the sweetest! ;-)
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing, that warmed my heart!
ReplyDeletewell, that sure made my morning. I'm in my late 40's, and I can still remember the joy of making my own mamma and daddy "breakfast" as a surprise. Thanks so much for sharing, AM.
ReplyDeleteHow precious!
ReplyDeleteprecious beyond words!
ReplyDeleteThat is the cutest story ever! Thanks for sharing good moments like that. By the way, amazing blog, may I link your blog to mine? Thank you Zoe Phillips
ReplyDeleteOK, that is the sweetest, most precious thing EVER! You are very blessed, Anna! ~D
ReplyDeleteSo sweet! Your mugs remind me of the mugs my siblings and I used to have when we were little. They were mice and my mom had hand painted them and added our initial to the front belly. Unfortunately my mug broke, but I'm pretty sure that my brother and sister's mugs are still being enjoyed by their kids!
ReplyDeleteI know your super busy, but I would love to know where your owl mugs!
Hi there...I had seen these mugs at anthropologie, but Juliana bought them for us from the little giftshop where she works here in Nashville for Christmas. I would pass along that info, but I don't think they have any left. I think Isaw some S&P shakers that are owls at anthro....but not mugs. Sorry!
ReplyDeleteHow thoughtful and sweet! Kids just do the darndest (and most adorable) things.
ReplyDelete"Young women everywhere who have respect for dishware!" You SERIOUSLY make me laugh!
ReplyDeletelove it!
Mugs on the way to the store AM--gotta love a smart 4 year old!
ReplyDeleteIm glad to hear you and yours survived the horrible storms that hit in your direction, as well as mine. We are so blessed AM.
ReplyDeleteStephanie
aahhh . . . that is just too sweet!
ReplyDeleteThat is just too precious!
ReplyDeleteAnd as an HUGE owl fan, I have to say -- I LOVE Mr. + Mrs. Owlcups!
HI! Do the owl mugs go in the microwave and dishwasher? I bought them for a friend and we were wanting to know! :) I went on a hunt when I saw them on your blog!
