Family & Fruit

In addition to the standard “Dad’s & Doughnuts” day at the kids school, they also do a plethora of other early-morning activities that involve just about everyone, and succeed in making me absolutely bonkers.  This month we had a “moms & muffins”, a “Dads & Doughnuts”, a “Grands & Granola”, and yes, a “Family & Fruit”.  I did manage to make it (in my pajamas, no less) to the moms & muffins day, but from there it went straight downhill.  Seth was out of town for Dads day, and since we don’t have a Grandparent within a 100 mile radius, that one was out.  So, we tried, as a family to redeem ourselves at the last event- Family & Fruit!  Getting the whole family up to the school by 7:30 a.m. was definitely a challenge, and some of us looked less than spectacular, but we did it.  The kids were so happy to have everyone there.  The fruit was just ok, but its the thought that counts, right?

Ever since, the kids have been trying to come up with other various ideas for random people they could bring to school with them and get fed for it.  (As though there weren’t enough opportunities for that already….)

Some of their better ideas were:

Celebrities and Cereal  (see who could get the best local celebrities to show up at their school)

Neighbors and Nuts (bring your favorite neighbor to school day)

Strangers and Smoothies (just grab a random stranger off the street, the weirder the better)

Oh dear- I guess we better quit while we’re ahead.  Thank goodness there are no more early mornings at the school for awhile.  I need to sleep!
