I hosted the last of my Love Monster Little Cooks and Books events today. I absolutely LOVE these events. The kids are wonderful. Combining my love of books and baking — what better job could I ask for? This was the youngest of my groups, but they all did a wonderful job. They listened so sweetly to the story and then ate their way through the cookies, frostings, and sprinkles. There may have been a little decorating, but it was mostly sprinkles right into little mouths. 

After school Annabelle was an amazing helper and helped me build a lollipop box for the bookfair. We are doing a fundraiser this year to help underprivileged students receive books. Annabelle was so excited to help and a BIG help she was. I cut the holes in the box and she loaded up the entire thing with lollipops. 

Taking her job very, very seriously. 

After Gwyneth’s dance classes this evening, we swung by the Kitchen. Sheila hosted a demonstration for her friends and although I couldn’t stay long because of homework, I didn’t want to miss the opportunity to say hi. I was able to enjoy a delicious salad before heading out and  my goodness, it was so yummy.  

Tomorrow is the 101st day of school. The 1st graders celebrate by bringing in 100 snacks and 1 little treat. Gwyneth really wanted Cheeze-Its and a tootsie roll.

The 1st graders get to watch 101 Dalmatians while they eat their snack tomorrow afternoon. Gwyneth LOVES that movie….and that may even be an understatement. She was so excited. She had the hardest time falling asleep. Once I finally got her to sleep I added this little note to her snack and couldn’t wait to see her excited little face tomorrow. 

I spent a few hours watching TV and putting over 500 tax stickers on book fair flyers. What?!? Are you thinking well that doesn’t sound very exciting? Well, then you would be absolutely correct. 

The finished tootsie roll pop box. We are ready for the book fair!
