Mom, I need 100 of something glued on this sheet of paper-----WHAT!!??

Mom, I also need a bag of little multi-colored marshmallows for school--WHAT!??!

Uggggg!! Just another manic Monday.....

Why do kids always "remember" at the LAST minute? Hummm, two weeks ago I made cupcakes that I cut mini marshmallows as popcorn..... did I have an extra unopened bag? YES!! I did!! AND THEY ARE THE COLORED ONES!! SCORE!....okay now 100 "things to glue and fit on and 8 x 11 sheet of paper.....hummmm.... nothing....Legos? Darn, I threw out all of Sean's mini Legos when I was pregnant with Ian (choking hazards)....Marbles? Nope, threw them out too. Hey, two boxes of new Crayons! We could break them in half...(2 into 3 parts)...

Sean- "No, mom! that's wasteful"

Me- "Okay, I'll go talk to the teacher see if it's okay to bring you something after I drop off your sister."

Sean- "Okay, mom..... Just don't bring me something lame or embarrassing."

Me- "I'll buy you a puzzle"

"100 PUZZLES?!?!"

"No, ONE puzzle with hundreds of pieces."

"Make sure it's 100 pieces so I don't have to count them."

Ohhhhh, my head.......... Well, off to drop the kids off at school. I go in; talk to his teacher.... "1oo days of school" isn't until Wednesday.

Well, I bought Sean a puzzle..... one with 500 pieces! He'll have to count out his 100 items.....heee heee. We also made the banner below and used 100 foam fish. I thought it would be cute.... "school of fish" :)

Dinner will be beef stew...mmmmmm
