Spa Day

The kids had President's day off, so when I asked them if they had any ideas for activities, the girls (without skipping a beat) requested another spa day, but they really wanted cucumbers for their eyes. Fancy Nancy has a book out now about giving her mom a spa day, so we tried to make it fancy like hers. First, the boys were kicked out of our "room of serenity." Next, we did manicures and pedicures.

I then pulled their hair back, smothered their faces in Noxema, had them lie down on their towels, and placed freshly cut cucumbers over their eyes. They were crack ups! Both girls couldn't stop moving, so they kept falling off of their faces, but Emma started to relax when I put on the soft music. I then wiped the stuff off of their faces and put hot towels over themEmma wanted to keep it on her forehead while she watched a TV show.
Of course, you have to drink lots of water...

Doesn't she look refreshed?

I now have to expose a fun, new smoothie. The picture is horrible, but the product is delicious! My friend at www.dashofdiva.blogspot.com posted this (as well as other wonderful dishes):

Tropical Green Smoothie

Here's the recipe:

2 c fresh spinach

1 mango

2 bananas

1 c pineapple chunks (fresh)

1 c water

1 c ice

Put in blender and voila! Yummy green smoothie that everyone will love! To make it simpler (cuz that's what I'm all about) I substituted 1 can pineapple and 1 can mango. I also added an orange. Have fun with it, but know that my apprehensive children were asking for more! Plus, St. Patrick's Day is coming up and you can bet what we are having for breakfast!!!
