As we all know, school is back in session for the big kids.
Here at home, we have been busy playing with blocks, reading books, jumping on the trampoline, etc. I thought today I would take a few minutes and spice up our mid-morning snack by making it much more formal for our hostess, my daughter, and by inviting a special guest--our little dragon. We also used some tiny glass dishes that were super fancy to make the occasion even more special.

Since my kids (and most kids!) love to dress up, this was a quick, free, easy way to make our morning a little more exciting. I have a feeling we will have many more special guests at snack time in the near future. Princesses, Star Wars characters, Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz.....
After our fancy dress-up snack, we took our crayons over to the Easel, which is the great Ikea Easel--love it, and we made a little portrait for Daddy to enjoy later. It was an exciting, culturally-rich morning for us all. Sometimes it only takes a few minutes to make the little ones feel special!
And remember: "Always speak politely to an enraged Dragon."
