I’ve got the cookie trays assembled, the punch supplies sitting by the door, the cover contest board ready, I’ve done a walk through of the recital location to make sure I’ve figured everything out logistically, gift bags packaged and labeled, and I’m printing programs as I type this.

So close!

I told Chloe this morning as we were getting ready for school that the recital was tomorrow and she couldn’t believe it.  She said, “What?!  It’s TOMORROW?!”  She knew it was coming up, but this week sure has flown by faster than she was expecting…  And boy has it flown by!  I feel like I should have at least another day to get things ready.  Oh, well.  It will all work out in the end.  It always does.  🙂

Before I go, here’s a pretty picture of the tree outside.  I like how the water droplets looked like extra berries.  I thought it was pretty.

This year has been especially exciting as I make the candy bags for my students because…. drum roll please… Chloe can finally help me!!!  And I tell you, if you were to be here, you would think she won the lottery or something because she was SO EXCITED to be able to help.  She kept saying, “this is so much fun!”  I love that girl!

I haven’t had time to write over the past couple of days because all of my spare time has gone to making the candy, but I’m just about done.

Can you see the excitement in her smile?

She’s carefully putting sucker sticks in the molds

Starting to fill the bags!
