The Last Few Days

Have been filled with making lots of fudge…

milk chocolate

white chocolate

mint chocolateand folding LOTS of little origami boxes and lining them with parchment paper(how do I talk myself into these things?!?!), and filling them with fudge.  And giving them to our friends and Owen’s school employees.  - This was me attempting to avoid the rush of Christmas goodies on the last few days of school before the holiday, where there is just too much to eat – but maybe November was a bit too early – since everyone looked a little confused…  The second batch will be put off a few days…

Today was Jack’s day to celebrate his birthday at school.  He gets to bring snack (brownie bites iced in blue with little snowmen on them, and cheese sticks)  He will wear a tie for any occasion that he possibly can.  Doesn’t this look like an appropriate outfit to be worn to preschool where he will be … painting/crawling on the floor/eating chocolate/playing in a sandbox/riding bikes in the rain/using un-washable markers and crayons??

Jack proving that tough guys wear ties??
