How I survived my Class Party

Today we had our Fall Class Party ans I was a class mother.  I enjoyed the party and I hope the kids did too!  We had all kinds of snack, both healthy and junk.  Cheese and Crackers, Fruit Platter, Pretzels and Cupcakes were served and enjoyed by all.  Rules are now so different then they were when I was a kid...it used to be a free for all, now it's little icing this and 100% fruit juice that...I understand the childhood obesity problem here, but depriving kids of these things can't be healthy either.  But I digress!
We played the mummy game where 2 kids wrap 1 kid as a mummy with toilet paper...a Memory game and then a word search and color pages with a goodie bag and a book light as prizes.  We also took their pictures with some fall characters.
I survived my first class mother party...
Not out for Mexican and hopefully a Margarita is in my future.  Let the weekend begin!

Happy Halloween XXXOOO

In Full Swing

As you all know I am a volunteer junkie, if you need help, I'm there!  Well, with school being in full swing I am in over my head, as usual.  You need beanbags made?  I'll take care of that!  You need a class mom for the fall party?  I'll do that!  You need something baked?  I'm all over that!  Book Fair late night?  Count me in!  Do you see how it starts?
Well, yesterday I was talking to a fellow volunteer and told her I found a really cute idea for the weekend event we have for the PTACookie Witch Hats...aren't they a cute idea!  Well of course I was asked, "Now, in what spare time will you get this done?"  If I have to give up sleep my love, I will get these done for you....I think they will become a requested item!  I already have the beanbag half done, fall party is all but handled and I haven't been asked to make anything for the bake sale YET, so I'm in good shape.
In other news, we've been busy, busy, busy...would you expect anything more from me?  Danny is almost done with baseball and I'm hoping he gets back into full swing with scouts and Ryan will help him out with that since I am buried in PTA business.  If we can add an hour or two to each day I will be in good shape...or maybe I should give a few hours up at work?  Feed back would be greatly appreciated!
Happy Tuesday XXXOOO
