Because I'm the Dad

This afternoon S-Boogie watched an episode of Blue's Clues wherein Blue makes a tray of orange pops. She wanted to make orange pops and I remembered that we had an unused Popsicle tray in our cupboard, so we got out some orange juice, filled up the tray, and put it in the freezer. A few hours later, once S-Boogie and Little Dude had gotten ready for bed and cleaned up the living room, I had them sit down to the table while I went to the freezer to retrieve our orange pops. Sadly, they were not quite frozen in the middle. The kids were expecting a treat so I had to think fast. I pulled out some graham crackers, chocolate chips, and marshmallows, and made microwave s'mores.

I think the kids liked them.



And, lest you think I'm a completely horrible parent, here's evidence that their teeth were cleaned afterward.
