Auntie time
March 18th, 2005My older brother called yesterday, and asked if six-year-old Matthew could stay with us while he and Matthew’s mom got away for a quick overnight to Napa. Sure!
Just got back from the grocery store. What a trip to do with a little guy! He quickly established East, West, North and South, and we used those directions to navigate. Our mission:
- ice cream
- chocolate chips
- whipped cream
- maraschino cherries
- peanut butter
He quickly established that the chocolate chips and peanut butter could do double duty: perfect for tomorrow’s cookie batch, but also brilliant on the ice cream. Matthew and the husband are in the kitchen building the World’s Most Perfect Sundae, and we’re about to watch the Incredibles. Big night!
While the movie’s on, I’m going to frog the rest of that white thrift store sweater, and then tomorrow might just be the day for Kool Aid dyeing. Woo hoo!
I’ve been tagged for an interview by Suzie—coming soon! Right now the World’s Best Sundae Maker is calling from the living room…
