Nothing says, "Happy Mother's Day" like cold oatmeal. Really? You might think that is crazy so let me explain.
Kathryn made me a blue and purple sparkly box full of coupons that I can turn in as I choose. Yesterday morning I turned in "breakfast in bed." Kat disappears to the kitchen to make me a delicious breakfast.
About 15 minutes later, Kat brings me a bowl of oatmeal, toast with peanut butter, and apple slices all neatly arranged in a glass pyrex baking dish (she couldn't find a tray). So very sweet.
I thought she was going to make instant oatmeal; you know heat up some water, rip open a packet, stir, and eat. I was wrong. These are Kat's oatmeal making steps:
1. Get a coffee mug full of water.
2. Microwave for 36 seconds.
3. Put 4 large spoonfuls of oatmeal in a bowl.
4. Pour in the water and stir.
5. Use a strainer to remove the excess water.
6. Return oatmeal to bowl.
7. Look for cinnamon and sugar.
8. Add 4 shakes of cinnamon to the bowl and stir.
9. Add sugar and stir.
10. Set on the glass tray and make the toast.
She worked so hard! I ate every single bite. Delicious!
So happy cold oatmeal day to all you mothers out there.
