I think I’m a fairly creative mom, but every now and then, I remember that I was raised by The Master, and that I have a whole lot to live up to.
Tom and I got away to see Jim Gaffigan with Paul and Amy (which was hilarious…I actually cried), and my parents watched Neko and Shep. Fresh on the heels of the Ariel purchase, it was clear the evening would have one focus. However, only my mom can turn hanging out with an absurdly propotioned princess into a creative and stimulating activity.
With a little construction paper, string, markers and a pair of scissors, they turned the space under their dining room table into an ocean for Ariel. The picture really doesn’t do it justice. It’s really quite beautiful, and Neko even put down Ariel to gather some other ocean friends.
