"This is the funnest day ever." These are the words I overhear my six year old saying to my four year old. Then she elaborates, "I think home is more fun than Disney, don't you?"
My four year old hesitates. He loves Disney, with its princesses and candy apples.
Then she elaborates. "Disney is close, but home is better. Right?" My son nods in agreement.
What a boost to my MomEsteem!
So what made for such a great day? Aside from the fact that the stars aligned and everyone woke up on the right side of the bed?
Maybe it was the grand tea experiment - the kids filled buckets of water and added spices (carefully selected from some of my older, out of date, rarely used spices) to make an assortment of "teas".
Maybe it was the homemade play doh.
Perhaps the clementine lassis (recipe coming soon!).
Or maybe, just maybe, it's spending time together.
Play Doh Recipe:
ReplyDelete1 1/2 cups flour

1/2 cup water

My kids love the homemade playdough too. They'll play with the store bought stuff for maybe 10 minutes but the homemade stuff is still being used weeks later.
