This morning when I arrived home from an event, Little Mr. greeted me with his grand idea--to make a lion out of candy. He described in detail what it would look like and how he would make it. After the Mr. and girls left for ballet, I agreed that we could try to make his wish come true. So, I girded my loins and we walked down the hill to the neighborhood store and collected the goodies to make the lion he imagined. While making the lion, he said, "Don't you think we could make a monkey too?" So we did. Although he loved the final product, I loved helping him through the process of making his dream a reality! Oh, and Little Debbie's oatmeal cookies worked so well for this project--the creamy filling worked wonders as the "glue!"
