...well, next to the TV-free year that is. I still ask for that every year, but no one is going for it again!
Gryphon wrote a play a few months ago, typed it up (complete with scene directions and a narrator) and printed out a copy each for the neighborhood kids. Then she highlighted their parts on their copy, and started rounding them up every day to practice! There was a bit of drama over people pulling out of the play, or not wanting to practice (Gryphon takes her plays very seriously) but today everyone put the play on!
They set up chairs in a neighbor's backyard, and 2 other neighborhood mothers came down with me to watch the play, along with some assorted Dads and siblings. They opened by presenting us with flowers (picked from someones yard no doubt!) and a cute song about Mother's Day. The play was adorable, and everyone remembered their lines, which made Gryphon very happy!
Truly, one of the neatest Mother's Day gifts ever.
