Surprise them with something outside the standard cheerios and bananas... perhaps oatmeal or even a waffle...
Make sure you bring that seldom used toy out of the closet for them to play with... they'll enjoy it for at least an hour
Let them pick which color plate to use... the purple or the blue... the choosing is just SO exciting
Sneak them that little bite of an extra cookie... make sure you wink and tell them "shhh"
If you really want to make their day... make them a tent with an old sheet... Ya HOO!
Play the tell-you-a-secret game where you whisper LOUD nonsense in each others ears... for sure you'll get many giggles and happy screeches
Give them a hug and tell them you love their face.. .or their nose... or whatever you feel like waxing on about
Every once in a while tell them YOU'LL pick up the playroom tonight and they get to have a break... (they love that you say so but more than likely it spurs them on to help you)
Take them outside... what's easier than that?
Give them some cheap little something you've had sitting around the house that you don't want and tell them its a present... they'll hug it and get all excited and tell you thank you for two hours (ahh, the grateful little dears)
Spend 10 minutes doing something with them... stacking blocks, coloring, singing a song...DUH!
Let them help with the cooking, or the cleaning, or the laundry (they do so love to help)
End their day with a bubble bath
Isn't it wonderful how easy it is?

great list :)
wonderful list! The kids love it when I come across a "secretly hidden" toy I've stashed away. Just something small from the target dollar bin, but always delightful. And baths. Baths are like crack for kids arent they? : )
Thanks a lot it has been a fantastic guide, now to make two little girls happy is without a doubt simple and easy utilizing your guidance. Thanks
