100th day cookies.

sugar cookies iced, packaged and ready to send into school

Today is the 100th day of school. Slade is in kindergarten this year... so, this marks the 100th day of many more hundreds of days he will attend school. In order to celebrate and mark this milestone in a kindergartner's life, I made giant sugar cookies of the number 100 for his entire class.

And of course, as I was icing and sprinkling sugar, Slade, Elle and Sia wanted to do their own cookie decorating. So, I gave them each a circle cookie to decorate as they wish. Don't they look awesome?? I love all the colors.... so vibrant and yummy!

100 days.

Slade is celebrating 100 days of being in school in his kindergarten class this week. As a tradition, the teacher asked children to make a poster of 100 items so they may see just what 100 of something looks like.

After talking about many things, Slade decided he wanted to use marshmallows. So, he made a poster of a giant cup of hot cocoa and glued 100 marshmallows in the cup. I love his imagination and creativity. He had asked me if he could put real cocoa in the cup on his poster, so after putting a thin layer of glue, he sprinkled it with cocoa. And then, glued the marshmallows on top of that. He sponged blue paint on the background and of course, put a big "S" on the mug that he decided to paint brown.

He was so proud of his finished project. What an amazing smile he had upon its completion. He couldn't wait to take it to school to show his class.
