Play Doh Cakes and Grown Up Princesses--Joy List #3
Today was one of those days where we stayed home. All day.
It's actually kind of nice to have days like today every once in awhile. To be home with no particular agenda certainly lends itself to fun play time with Carly and productivity around the house.
So, without further ado, here's today's Joy List:
1. A play doh cake that Carly made to celebrate Grammy's birthday, complete with pink play doh candle and pink play doh flowers as an "icing" border. I like to think that it was an almond poppyseed cake with almond frosting--yum.
2. Heart-warming conversation with Carly:
C: When you grow up, you can be a princess with lots of different dresses.
Me: What do you want to be when you grow up?
C: Umm. . . a little princess with you.
It's nice to know that I have some time before I grow up. . .at least in the eyes of my 3-year-old.
3. Decorated Christmas tree
4. Peanut butter and raspberry jelly on crackers--one of my all-time favorite snacks would be peanut butter (whether it's on an apple, on crackers, on a spoon, on chocolate chips!. . . )
5. Decorating the tree with Carly. She made sure to put some ornaments on the absolute lowest branches--instead of perched on a higher branch, there is a snowman ornament that is essentially sitting on the ground. But, when I asked her "Where should this ornament go?" her response was promptly, "Here," pointing to the lowest branch. And there it went.
