Incidentally, the best creative idea I have had this year...Mickey Mouse and friends have been sending R letters about his trip to Florida. Included in the letter is always some small token or gift that he will be able to use on his trip. So, he has received...
- a paper chain to help count the days until we go (because I hate the "how long/how many days" question)
- a pack of gum for the plane ride
- a card game for the trip (we have a 6 hour layover on the way there)
- a small bit of spending money for Disney (to try to eliminate or reduce the "can I have" question)
- a new t-shirt with a favorite Disney character
- Instructions on what to put into a "packing pile"...I'm hoping to reduce my work today!
I would have bought each of these things anyway, but it is super fun to have him get them in a letter sent (from my husband's office) to R. He is LOVING getting mail, planning his trip, collecting things in his packing pile, etc. Never mind that half of the toys that he owns are presently sitting in his packing pile. Ha!
So...I will work on the picture when we return. I'm praying for a picture of R with the Mouse himself! R is scared of Bucky Badger, so I may just be dreaming...he thinks those characters at sporting events are too big!
By the way, I have found a favorite new blog that I wanted to share. Check it out this one is full of wonderful ideas to do with your crock pot! I've been trying to use mine more often, so I have bookmarked this page...http://crockpot365.blogspot.com/
Happy Thanksgiving! I'm going to pack; why am I blogging?!?!?
