Slacker mom (i.e. me) did not read the teacher note which clearly articulated the above listed schedule. So this morning, I read that the decorated box is due on February 8th. Yikes ~ that is today. Matthew is black & white. When he heard the news ... total meltdown. Being a pack-rat can come in handy. I reached under my bed and pulled out a perfectly appointed Valentines Day box. Carefully crafted by Buddy, so you know it is great, and used by Jack several years ago. And yes, there was still stuff inside of it. So I cleaned it out, stuffed it in a brown shopping bag and off to school it went.
Tonight the table was covered in cards ... both Matthew and Kate writing away. Young kids writing ALL those names = hours.
For some reasons sister, I can picture your crew sitting at the table carefully decorating their boxes with love. Not using a last minute hammy down box. My apologizies to Matthew ~ I will try to do better. Deja Vu, I think I said that before. Sorry again.
Tracy
