Turning cinco on a school day

Treats for the classmates -- check

Note to self: Don't have the kids start sorting M&M's ten minutes before their bedtime. As cute as these look, all that sorting and organizing them into rows takes a little time.



A picture book to donate to the classroom bookshelf -- check

This is one of Benito's all-time favorite books.
If you haven't read it, check it out (the accompanying audio CD is great, too) at your library.



Special hat/crown worn by the birthday boy all day at school -- check
*this one was the teacher's doing, not mine



New $5 watch that I saw him showing all his friends at school -- check

Benito has been addicted to telling the time ever since he learned how at school.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BENNETT THE BIG SCHOOL BOY!

Julianne, your treats turned out so cute- Kudos to you! Jordyn also loves that book, but I had no idea it had an audio CD attached- I'll definitely have to find it in the library on Friday. Yay for turning Five!

Happy Birthday Bennett. Cool watch!

Wow!
they let you bring homemade treats into school?? That's a big no-no up here. Everything has to be packaged and store-bought.

Looks like B had an awesome birthday!

I know, I almost brought in peanut butter cookies until I remembered about nut allergies. No one warned us, however. Maybe they're more lenient in kindergarten...

Abigail's teacher doesn't even allow treats with sugar. Only 'prizes,' like pencils.

Kendra's private daycare/preschool wouldn't allow homemade treats, but her public school does -- interesting, huh? In any event, I hope Bennett had a wonderful birthday!! Hard to believe the little guy is 5 -- we love you guys, -- Connie

He received your package yesterday, Connie, and LOVED it! Thanks for helping to make his b-day special.
