Today I had to bring snacks again to Thade’s preschool. The Teacher had said that the kiddos would be baking Gingerbread cookies, so I just needed to bring a small snack. I thought Cheese and Crackers and Apple Juice would do the job.
I made little Mild Cheddar Cheese stars for all of the kiddos. Hopefully Thade’s class will like the snack today.
Last week I had an awesome opportunity. I got to be a room Mom at Thade’s preschool for a party. I was so glad that I got to go along, and it was such a fun day. I was really impressed with Thade’s teachers. They do an amazing job working with the kids, and each of them truly love being teachers. The kids were so cute too, and I even got a few big hugs to say thanks for all of the teddy bears.
It is getting pretty cold outside. This morning when I took Thade to school it was 43, and I just looked and it is now 32, and dropping. We are definitely indoors for today and probably tomorrow too.
To help keep the birds fed during this cold snap, all of the kiddos made Pine cone Bird Feeders at preschool today. Thade found a great spot on our tree, so we can watch the birds from the window. Thade has also kept busy by drwaing pictures of Frosty the Snowman, he is really hoping that this cold weather will bring along some snow.
Today we are back to the everyday morning routine, and Thade is very ready to get back to preschool. Both of the boys were wide awake and ready to go at 6:45 a.m. Dylan and I will be busy running errands while Thade is having fun at his schools belated Christmas party. Today we’ll also be taking James lunch at work. It looks like it is going to be a busy Monday!
What do you have planned today? Are your kiddos back to school too?
Last night before bedtime I asked Thade if he remembered what tomorrow was. He looked up and said “my Christmas party!” He was so excited, and he even fell asleep quickly, so he could wake up extra early to get ready for the day.
This morning both kids were up at 6:45 a.m., and Thade was already talking non-stop about his party, and how he couldn’t wait to go to school, and the 22 presents that he was going to get… Then I heard the phone ring. I knew it was James calling to make sure we were all up and ready, but then he said something else.
James: I don’t know if I heard this right on the radio, but it sounds like Thade’s school got cancelled.
Me: What, oh no, oh crap, Thade is going to be bummed.
James found the radio station number for me, and I gave them a call…
Me: Um, we missed the school cancellations on the radio this morning, I was calling to see if there were any?
Nice Radio Lady: Nope, unless your child goes to Preschool, that is the only one cancelled.
Me: Thanks for the help.
Nice Radio Lady: No problem, sorry that your school is out for the day.
Great, now to tell Thade, and trust me he was none too happy when I had to share the bad news. He is so sad now, he just stared out the window and said “it doesn’t look that bad.” I feel like the worst Mommy, but I had honestly believed that the party would be on for Wednesday.
Today is probably going to be a long day, but I am going to do my best to cheer Thade up, even if I don’t have 22 presents, and a room full of Christmas treats.
