Slice of Life Day 28
I am participating in the twowritingteacher.org Slice of Life Challenge where I write each day for the month of March. This year my three-year old daughter (now 4 year-old) and I are writing collaboratively. Feel free to follow along our month-long writing journey!
Doughnuts and familiar faces, what more could you ask for? A couple of friends sent a message to our “lady gang'” chat group saying that they ordered doughnuts and were going to be dropping them by with a smile to all of our houses! Our chat group is a mix of friends and friends of friends and friends of friends of friends, all strong, amazing women in our area! I am a newly added member to the group and it has been the source of a lot of goodness these days!
If you have been reading my blog lately, you will already know that doughnuts are a source of excitement in our house. I told Marlowe about the plan after her nap and she jumped up and down and sang, “DOUGHNUTS, DOUGHNUTS, I LOVE DOUGHNUTS” on repeat for a while. Then said, I think we should write about it. I said, “Ya I was thinking that maybe we could write a thank you card for the people bringing the doughnuts.” To which she said nonchalantly, “Ya, That’s what I was thinking ’bout too.” Apparently my 4 year old writer, doesn’t think my ideas are all that original.
We got out some special watercolour painting paper and got to work!
Look at that awesome doughnut painting. She added the lines around the doughnut in case they wanted to connect the dots!
Who made your day today?
Absolutely perfect, how generous and wonderful is that. And I bet they loved Marlowe’s card as a thank you.
Donuts are happiness though! I love this slice! The photos, the whole gang group chat delivery update. It was just the right pick me up I needed. Thank you 🙂
Drive by doughnuts! Now that’s a treat! And it sounds like Marlowe understands gratitude. That’s an important lesson!
Oooh, if someone brought me drive-by doughnuts, it would definitely make my day too! I think my day was made by the parents of one of my son’s friends, who decided the boys should have a FaceTime/Minecraft playdate, and I got to sit down in peace and relax and do things just that I wanted to do for fun for the first time in two weeks. And kudos to my husband, who set up a paper airplane challenge course all over the house and kept our squirrelly child occupied all afternoon so I could keep relaxing and having fun.
A donut delivery sounds like a perfect pick-me-up! Marlowe really knows how to write for a purpose. I love her painting, too. 🙂
My friends (like you!) messaging me made my day today.
