BUT...of course it WAS A PROBLEM! I hadn't made the cookies, didn't have all the ingredients, and worse...the favors I've been excitedly blogging about for the last few weeks were NOT EVEN CLOSE TO BEING READY!
So... I raced about my kitchen making suitable cookies (taking allergies into account - since MY KID is the 'allergic kid' in the class) for 24 little kids. Then I had to bag them up so they couldn't be cross-contaminated with allergans. Okay... I was halfway there! I could do this!
That done- I headed upstairs to make the favors. I froze at my table, stared in horror at all the parts to the favors I planned and realized I was three short! It was now after 1AM and I had to have BOTH of us up in 5 HOURS to start the day! What was I going to do? I decided to totally scrap what I was going to do and start up on this new project instead!
All the candies and treats got bagged and tagged. Thanks to Bugaboo Stamps convenient digi stamps, I had 24 favor bags ready in about an hour and a half. (Tying those tiny bows was the hardest part!) I think the teachers gifts are getting done later...while she is AT SCHOOL. So they will get them at the END of the school day! In the meantime, I'm going to nap in this nice, comfortable school parking lot for a little while! *Thought I'd edit this quickly a minute...these turned out to be a WEEK EARLY!* KIDS!

Oh, so I get a peek at what I have to look forward to -- mine are only 4 & 2, so I'm still in charge of the calendar, but hey, you are now AHEAD of schedule! :) Very cute little monkey btw!
ReplyDeleteLove the bags and you did so well thats a true dedicated mum, must say though mine is 15 now and I still get told things he needs 5 mins befor he leaves for school, or as we go through have you got everything. I think the best one was my cookery stuff, I had to start raiding the fridge for ingredients to make a casserole and weighing ingredients for a cake, in 5 minutes oh but you just have to love em for it don't you. Thank heavens he no longer does cookery now its usually did you print off that work I have to hand in and asked you to print, I think my son and husband at times think I'm telepathic and can do the things they think they've asked hey ho it all adds to the varitey of life and you did so well the gifts are fab Thanks for sharing Julye
