So I'm totally one of those moms...

I've finally admitted to myself that I'm one of those moms. 

You know, the ones that find themselves researching, making a special trip to the store, and then assembling cheeky little snacks for their kids' preschool (yes, I said PREschool) class when it's their turn to bring snack on a 'special' day.  Turns out this year I've had two of these 'special' days assigned to me (I'm beginning to wonder if it's sabotage...): Ugly Bug Ball day and tomorrow, Dr. Seuss day.

For ugly bug ball day they actually provided recipes for what I could bring.  Did I just follow them?  No...of course not!  I had to raise the bar a little!  I made chocolate-covered marshmallow spiders with licorice legs and mini m&m eyes, and 'trail' mix of bugs, beetles, worms, ants, etc... as well as good old ants on a log.  No pictures of those amazing efforts though.

However, it's your lucky day for Dr. Seuss day tomorrow.  After spending some time on the web trying to find cute ideas (since I really don't remember many of the books and only have 2) I didn't find much.  So, I settled for this one:  the famous cat's hat.












Better yet, 14 of them. 











Aren't they cute?  Not quite obvious, I know, but hey - we are talking about PREschool, remember?  

Hope your day tomorrow is as fun as I think my daughters is going to be.

Later-
