We
love breakfast
We
love cerealPour in the milk and hear it crunch
We promise that you’ll like it
We promise that you’ll eat it
So go to the store and buy a bunch
First we’ll take a look at this morning’s traffic. Everything was quiet this morning until about
6:30 when the first of the morning commuters started getting up. By the time Husband left for work, all five
children were up and the commute through the house started picking up to its
usual frantic pace as everyone started searching for shoes, backpacks, and
homework folders. Keep an eye out for
traffic jams in the bathroom and be careful leaving your bedroom and going into
the hall for the preschooler who seems to be running through the house in
nothing but her underwear.
Today’s weather calls for sunshine, but right now it’s
partially cloudy with a temperature of 14 degrees. Make sure you take those coats when you head
outside. It’s cold out there.
This week is an exciting week as tomorrow is Valentine’s
day. Children across the household have
planned and prepared in their own special way for the day’s festivities. We go out live now to our Valentine’s
correspondence, Daughter, to hear about some of the planned activities.
“Thank
you Mom. Tomorrow my class is going to have
a party. I got a box of Princess
valentine cards from the store. I wrote
the name of each friend on the card, wrote my name in the ‘From’ space and I
closed the card with a heart sticker. We
will be trading cards in our class and having cookies.”
Thank you Daughter for that breaking news story.
Also in this week’s busy schedule is the 100th
day of school celebrations. Children are
encouraged and some are even assigned to bring one hundred of something to
school. This assignment can be a
daunting task for parents, but it need not be a cause for extra stress. This Mom has done many 100th Day
celebrations over the years and has some tips for stressed out parents. You might have heard about gluing 100 pennies
to a poster board, but I will tell you that doesn’t work. No matter how good you glue is, pennies are
not going too stayed glued to a flexible poster board. So what else is there to do? Here are some other
good ideas: 100 stickers on a sheet of paper, 100 pieces of paper from the
shredder machine waste pile and for those last-last minute ideas, grab a box of
toothpicks. All of these ideas are
simple and economical.
We’ve just had a breaking story in the traffic center, it
seems that the Kindergartener was making a left turn out of his bed room and
ran right smack into the preschooler who was sitting on the floor in her
underwear playing with dolls. Big sister
is on the scene to help pick up the scattered dolls and hand the preschooler a
t-shirt to put on. Kindergartener is
reporting minor injuries on his knee from his fall onto the floor. Be wary of traffic in the hallway, it is a
bit slow right now.
Up next we have an idea story – school lunches. Do those two words make your hair stand on
end? Dread lunch time no longer as we
share a story filled with tears, laughter and information.
School lunches brought to you by Silverware, the leading
brand name in silverware. Silverware is
perfect for spreading peanut butter on bread and makes packing those pesky
school lunches a little easier. Don’t
forget to pick up your own package of Silverware.
Hey Moms! Does the thought of making school lunches
everyday cause you to break out in a cold sweat? One mom felt this way, so she set out to find
ways to make school lunches fun, nutritious and eco-friendly.
“I
make five lunches every day for my children. I was getting bored with peanut
butter sandwiches, chips and snack cakes. Plus I was using a lot of plastic
baggies. I decided to do a little
Internet research. I found some really
great websites and blogs that showed pictures of the cutest lunches ever. Instead of plastic baggies, they used
silicone cups to hold the food in cute lunch boxes. They filled the lunches with colorful pasta
salad, fruit slices and they cut the children’s sandwiches into shapes with
cookie cutters.
“I
was inspired! Searching the Internet a
little more I found those great silicone cups for sale. Four cups for $12.95? That seems pricy. I guess I’ll just keep using the baggies. I tried cutting my children’s sandwiches into
fun shapes, but it was leaving a lot of scraps that were perfectly good
food. I felt more wasteful than
ever. I tried colorful pasta salad, but
the kids didn’t like it. All they wanted
were their peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, chips and snack cake. Well, I tried.”
This
great idea segment was brought to you by Silverware. Show your kids you care, use Silverware!
The
time is now 7:40 and it’s time to walk the children out to the bus stop. The temperature has risen to a balmy 17
degrees. Burr! It’s cold out this
morning. Make sure those coats are
zipped up. From the house the Pre-schooler
has walked out. She is wearing an
unusual ensemble of a pink shirt, purple princess skirt, one sandal and one hot
pink flip-flop. It seems the chilly temperature
has deterred her and she is going back into the house.
It’s
7:43 and the bus is right on schedule.
The kids are on the bus and off to school. Join us tomorrow right here at W-MOM for our
morning show where we will talk about planning dinner by starting the slow
cooker at breakfast. Have a great day
everyone!
