100 Days Project

After enjoying everyone else's tales of 100 Days Projects and admiring the pretty things made, Gabby came home with her 100 Day hat last week and I figured the whole thing was over. Boy was I WRONG. Last Thurs and Fri were Parent/Teacher conferences which meant no school Thurs, Fri or Mon. Five day weekend. Nice, huh? Then we went to our conference on Thurs and the very first thing they had to do was cut out a huge red heart to take home and put 100 things on for said 100 Days Project. And return it on Tues. They have three days off from school but now we have this project to do, which I would have enjoyed had I had time to plan. Really nice.

So, of course, we are having too much family fun to work on this crazy thing until Monday evening at supper time. (Please don't let me turn my child into the procrastinator I am!!) So I set her to stickering, stamping and gluing on this thing so we can get it done. No time to plan something fun - just get it done with what we have. BIG mistake!! For those of you that have not entered the fun world of school, please heed my warning: Count the items BEFORE you place them on the heart. It's a pain to try to count random stickers/stamps/glued items afterward. I never got the same number twice. I wanted to pull my hair out. I yelled at my family. I have no idea how many things ended up on that heart. I counted 100 once and called it good. Hope the teacher does no better.

After all that, I did plan to take her picture with the project and the 100 Day hat before it was sent to school. You know that didn't happen!
