Treat Bags for Ethan's Class

     I have never packed a little treat bag for my kids to give out at school.  First off...if it's THEIR birthday...shouldn't they be GETTING the goodies not giving them out?!?!  That never made sense to me.  I am a great Mom...really I'll tell you straight up.  I'll toot my own horn on that one but it doesn't mean that I don't feel guilt when I'm not an even better mother.  Emily has gone through years of school and has never had the bag of treats to give out.  We have done holiday cards and last year even did some Valentine's crafty things but never the birthday.  Ethan sort of gets the shaft with his birthday being squished into the "most wonderful time of the year" (I hope you sang that part).  Sure, he gets over-the- top parties but this is his first real year of school so I thought we should do it up right.  If I had my way the old school cupcake give-out would happen...but that fun tradition has been swapped out for sealed treats with the first ingredient NOT being sugar.  Ohhhhh, the rules.  So we went with little plastic bags complete with a Star Wars pencil, food themed eraser, Star Wars candy cane, packet of cocoa and a tattoo.  You are now wondering about my random assortment of items.  Well, it's a little bit holiday...little bit birthday...little bit cheapo.  I said I was finally sending a Peck child in with a goodie bag...I didn't say how good they were!
