We used to be able to do so much when Colton was little, then in the last 2 years, they have really been stricked with the treats. It got to where the school would supply a snack for school parties..either ordering Pizzas....one of the local places works well/close with the school for parties and fundraisers......or the cafeteria staff would make cup/cakes for the class to have. It used to be you could send in candy treats for the treat bags, not any more. You can send toys, pencils, paper, etc. I "think" they said this year you could send in granola bars, fruit snacks, or other single serve items like that...but it can't be a peanut product or junk food. Sheesh.... They don't even have a Halloween party anymore!! Now it's Fall Festival with the same things every year. A hayride on a tractor, a candle maker, an axe thrower, a story teller, apple butter making. It was fun the first time, but after 6 years of it?? YAWN! All because we had a few families that didn't celebrate. Okay, that's fine, I understand, but make other arrangements for the day or have a teacher stay in a classroom with those children so the rest can celebrate!
Stepping off my soapbox! LOL The whole thing just rubbed me wrong!
I made pumpkin pies tonight. LOL I made 2 to take to my sisters and had one piece out of them!
