Teacher Gifts!

Wow - I didn't post at all in March??  I'm slacking.  I haven't been a blogger for two months and I'm already slacking.  I guess time is not my friend.  Let's face it - I've never been too good with time management! 

At the boys school, they have something called Munchie Monday (MM).  Once a month, one of the seven classrooms bring in munchies for the teachers.  Given I have three boys there, I figured, probably 5 times a year.  I think Andrew's classroom had it in March.
I wanted to make the teachers something semi-homemade.  And I knew I wanted something with a cute saying.  I wasn't feeling my creativity vibe, so I thought I needed to think of something simple where I can "play" on the name of the food. 
I saw somewhere about a "s'more" teacher appreciation gift; I thought - how cute! I love the s'more idea (and to be completely honest - how hard can it be to think of a saying with "s'more" in it)!! Well, a lot harder than you think!  I decided to skip the saying part (for now) and think of a s'more recipe.  And then...I remembered Mom-Mom making a s'more recipe with Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal, popcorn, and a few other ingredients.  So, I asked her for a copy and made several batches. The S'more Recipe was simple and easy! Most of the ingredients I had on hand (I did not add the tootsie rolls).   I simply bagged about 1 1/2 cups of the s'more mix into baggies.


Then, my next dilemma.  I wanted to draft a cool saying for the s'mores.  I thought all weekend and drove Jason CRAZY!  Everything he came up, I didn't like.  I finally settled on:


"S'more thanks for teaching us!"

I found the cool font on word and put everything together.  I think Andrew was most proud of the gift!  Message me if you want me to email you the file - I haven't figured out how to post the file! 

Tyler's MM was this month!  Wait till you see what I made for that...
