Beautiful Stolen Goods

When my children walked into the house quickly and stealth-like, emerging from the craft room with two pairs of safety scissors, I should have paused to check out what was up. Alas, I was emmersed in my baked ravioli recipe and only slightly considered investigating.

About 10 minutes and a butchered rosebush later, I had a beautiful centerpiece for my table. (the nieghbor that lost her roses still has a full bush left, actually, I went to be sure).

After the initial lecture about taking other peoples flowers from their gardens, and then another lesson about trimming rose bushes properly and leaving some stem to drink water from... I floated them in some crystal bowls and got a bit teary-eyed at the fact that was the first time anyone brought me roses since my divorce.

Sweet babies.

even though it was stolen, it sure was cute and sweet of them! :)

Precious :)

that's so sweet!

[this is good]

I remember learning these lessons. They do look really gorgeous though. XO

Stealing flowers is totally romantic. I do it all the time. The LSCB loves it, except for that stretch in the county pen and she didn't anyone to take the trash out for 3 months.

Awww... You don't know whether to flog them or hug them. LOL

So hard to get mad when they do things like that....I used to do that for my Mom too. They are beautiful.

awww, well they meant well right? ;o)

Hopefully the neighbor is an understanding and kind-hearted type. How thoughtful of your kids to bring you flowers.

Vindication of the great job you are doing. Brought tears to my eyes and memories of my own children's floral achievements back to mind.

I don't normally like kids, but that was very sweet of them!!

That is so sweet! They saw those roses and thought of you.

You gotta love them when they bring a smile to your fact even for the wrong reason.

Bless them, that's so sweet. and look how gorgeous the flowers are, not only are your children lovely, they also have a good eye for blooms. How good is that??
