Most of you know I have the privilege of staying home with Aiden and Charlotte. And I do love it, but you know, Friday comes around, and Aiden and I are...butting heads. And since last Friday was starting off in that general direction, I needed to do something so we could enjoy our Friday (though we both would admit we were super excited to see Daniel, haha!)
Earlier in the week, we bought a huge box of packing peanuts for a youth group activity. We obviously kept the box. Aiden used it as a slide, a drum set, he put things in it and then dumped them out. Lightbulb moment!
An oven!! Complete with a stove top!
His face lit up after I finished. We ran (yup WE RAN) to the kitchen and filled our arms with every possible (and safe!) kitchen utensil we could carry!
(Eventually, he and Daniel went to Wal-Mart and bought some play food)
During his nap I threw some cupcakes together and placed one inside the oven.
"OOOH a cupcake!!" Followed by the HUGEST grin!
A delicious treat indeed!
You are such a good mommy!!!
