So this week I have tried my very best to be the "warm cookies and milk" kind of mommy after school. Dallin gets home off the bus at about 12:10, so he is good and hungry when he gets home. Since school started, they have also been having "color days" where they celebrate one color for the whole day. I have tried to have lunches with the same theme. Yesterday was blue day. What did we do to celebrate? We made blue sugar cookies and had blue milk with our grilled cheese and turkey sandwich. I couldn't figure out a blue main course, so grilled cheese was the ole standby.
As I was wandering around the house wondering what I could make that was blue, Ben asked why Dallin was getting all this special treatment for lunch. First off, I am sure that his mom (correct me if I'm wrong, MaryAnn) had warm lunches for him when he got home from school. Ben tried to convice me that all he got was a swift kick in the butt when he got home, but I am sure he deserved it before his warm lunch. Second off, it is helping me feel like the cute mommy I have always aspired to be. I don't do many cutesy mommy things, so this is one place I can start, I guess. It also gives me something to be creative with while Jarom is down for a nap in the morning.
Hmmmmmm, today is orange day........what will we come up with?
