So I took the christmas tree down yesterday. Translation: I drug the 7ft tall christmas tree outside on the porch while still in the base. There it sits waiting for someone masculine to do something about it.
The kids were a bit sad. Then I had a GENIUS idea. (When you are a mom, genius ideas come about all the time because that is how you survive. Plus, looking like a genius to a 6 year old is much easier than, say, to a 20 year old.)
To lead up to my genius idea, I had to give the bad news first. I told the kids we had to burn the Christmas tree.
Very quickly I exclaimed "But guess what!" in a high sing-songy type voice .
(mom's also find that using the high sing-songy type voice can make anything more interesting to a 3 year old)
So here it comes....
"When we burn the Christmas Tree," I said, "we can roast marshmallows and have S'MORES"!!!!!
What were we talking about again????? A tree of some sort??? All I heard was S'MORES.
