Preschool Gifts

With some help from Nana, and great advice from Nicostuff readers, we finally got the presents all together for preschool. How I wish we had a Dollar Tree locally I think I would shop there everyday.

Thade and I set up a little assembly line, he would pick out a pencil, eraser, and throw in a peppermint candy cane too. I would then stuff the little gift bags, and tag them with my Christmas address labels that found  at our $1.00 Shop. The bags looked so cute, and Thade was really happy that he got to help out with the project too.

We took the presents to school on Wednesday along with Christmas gifts for all of the teachers. Thade said that his teachers loved their gifts, and gave him extra hugs to say thanks. His Christmas party is coming up soon, and he can’t wait!

Snack Day

Today Thade and I were in charge of bringing snacks for Preschool. Yesterday we were busy in the kitchen getting all of the treats ready. Thade helped out with the veggies, but I had a little problem with the mini muffins. I accidentally burned my first batch, so I ended up making regular sized muffins, and cutting them in half for the kiddos. I think the treats went over pretty well today at Preschool, even though Thade said that he didn’t like the muffins…

Snacks in a Hurry

I got a little Christmas Shopping done this morning while Thade was at school. When Dylan and I went to pick up Thade, I heard the teacher say that there were lots of handouts today. There were three book orders due back on Wednesday, and then I spotted the snack list for December in Thade’s backpack. I looked over it, and I’m bringing snacks for December 3rd.

What the heck am I going to bring… It has to be healthy, and it has to be what I’ve got on hand too. I picked up Carrots and Celery the last time that we went to the store, so I can make veggie sticks for the kiddos, but there needs to be something else. I think I’m going to make a batch of Oatmeal muffins, and make them mini for the kiddos. I think I’ve got an extra Apple Juice in the pantry, so I hope I’m good to go!

I Have To Buy What Now…

I was picking up Thade from preschool today, and the kiddos all sounded so excited. Today they were having a Thanksgiving Party, and Thade couldn’t wait. As the class was winding down, I overheard the teacher say to make sure and have your parent’s check your backpacks for some important handouts, then I heard the words I was dreading to hear…

Teacher: Now we are going to talk about our Christmas Party!

Nico (thinking) :Oh, goodness.

Teacher: I’m sending home handouts that explain our party, and what date it will be on.

Nico (thinking): Cool, now Thade will be talking about this party 24 hours a day for the next month, but at least I have a little warning.

Teacher: Don’t forget to remind Mom that while she is out shopping this weekend, to pick up 22 presents for the Christmas Party. We will each be giving a present to all of the kids in the class, so make sure and tell her that.

Nico (thinking): Oh crap!

So now I have to come up with 22 gender neutral non-sugar presents for 22 four year-old boys and girls. Oh yeah and 4 teacher presents too. Yeah, I’m already sick of holiday shopping and it isn’t even Thanksgiving yet…

Spiderman Goes to Preschool

This morning was an exciting day for Thade, he was finally getting to go to the Halloween party at Preschool. He has been looking forward to the party for well over a month, Dylan was pretty surprised to see Thade all dressed up to go to Preschool today.

The party looks like it is going to be fun, filled with Halloween games, and of course way too much candy! I can’t wait to hear all about it when Thade gets home from school.
