...Raised a Smart Cookie

Thought I'd share some of Cecilia's recent stuff. Man, I do not remember bringing home this much paper when I was in Kindergarten. Our mixed paper recycling box is overflowing with the stuff. (easy Grandma's...I do keep some of it!) Cecilia busted me once and totally reamed me for throwing away her work.

...Packed a School Lunch, Retro-style

Cecilia has be BEGGING me to allow her to take a sack lunch. Apparently there are a few in her class who do not like school lunches and regularly bring their own. Nuts, right? I loved school lunch and can remember running to the lunchroom with my English classmates our Senior year. Yes, Senior year. If it was Crispito day, look out. You could loss a limb if you got in our way.

Okay, back to Cecilia... so, the last thing I want to add to my mornings is making her lunch *ugh* but she was insistent. I told her if she reminded me after dinner one night, we would prepare her lunch for the next day. This way we wouldn't have to do it in the morning. She reminded me THAT night of course. Crap. What do we pack it in? She gave me a "duh" and ran to her arts-n-crafts drawer in our kitchen and pulled out my old tin Strawberry Shortcake lunch box (which we had been using to house markers).

"This of course!" said Cecilia.
"Perfect," I said, "but we need to add your name to the top."
