The Smoothie Dance

At the Putney house, we enjoy smoothies on a regular basis.  They’re tasty and healthy.  Plus, they’re fun to make

Yesterday morning, as I was getting ready to walk out the door for one of my few days working away from the house, Karen started making a smoothie.

Before I knew it, Charlotte and Luke started doing the Smoothie Dance.  (They dance to the blender when it goes on.  I like to think that they can find rhythm and music in everything.)

The Smoothie Dance is difficult to describe.  One might even say it’s indescribable.  (I mean, really, it’s dancing to the noise from a blender.)  There’s not a great deal of artistry to it, just a whole lot of moving and jumping around excitedly in anticipation of a delectable smoothie.  I’ll try to capture it on camera one of these days and post it.

Needless to say, my departure was delayed.  When I requested  a smoothie to go, Karen decided to put it in one of the kids’ Cinderella cups, which comes with a top and straw – a perfect to-go smoothie cup.

The kids were delighted.  “We match,” Luke said, “Your cup is the same as mine.”  Luke loves the Cinderella cups.

Especially when they contain a smoothie.

I hope you enjoyed today’s serving of ‘mac & cheese’ (washed down with a smoothie, of course, and preceded by the Smoothie Dance).

Happy October!
