Just Add Magic

Last week I was taking a day off to spend time with little miss Haana. But unlike other times, i hadn't made any plans of what to do. I bounced off several ideas against miss Haana and all of them met with approval - water park? Yeah! Splash park? Yess! Zoo? Sure! Movies? Yes! Pottery? I always wanted that! I wasn't getting anywhere!

So i thought let's start the day with a breakfast of chocolate cake! When we got to the cafe, i got us chocolate cake, and scrambled eggs and toast for the little girl. Two bites into the breakfast and she realized she wanted to have yogurt. I welcome such challenges! "Only when you finish your eggs". My bullying paid off, and soon she had finished her breakfast and we headed next door to yogurt zone.

I decided i didn't really want yogurt except for a few spoonfuls, so it was agreed I will share with little miss Haana.  We were long due for a fight, so we got that taken care of when i put some roasted coconut flakes on the yogurt indicating that she should at least try it, and she insisted she didn't like them! We made up with yogurt!

On this day, we had had Dad leave us his fancy Tesla "Ocean" for us to zip around town. After yogurt we headed back to the car. I could feel sweet naptime coming over me, and little miss Haana has several games she likes to play on Ocean. And so we just hung out in the car.

After several minutes of peace, I casually asked little miss Haana if she wanted to get manicure and pedicure done. The suggestion was met with resounding excitement and I found potential for climbing the hall of fame charts of motherhood! Soon we were in the Hawaiian Nail Bar. Sitting side by side with our feet in warm water, our arms being massaged, the little girl drinking a slurpie. We felt great! The little girl got fancy nail paints on both toes and fingers. With flowers and colorful zebra stripes. I got foot massage and warm towels on my feet. Both the little girl and I were in heaven!

We came back him home past lunch time and heated up last night's left overs. Miss Haana wanted to watch Just Add Magic series on tv. I would have protested, except a few mintues of watching it, i really liked it too. We kept watching one episode after the other, till, of course it got too much for me to keep my eyes open and i took a nap.

The day was indeed magic!
