But for my daughters Preschool class I couldn't volunteer IN the class (State rules or something). So I tried being the "best pairant in the hole wrold" by making my daughters in-class birthday party SO awesome, not only would my kid never forget it, but the other kids would tell their parents and they'd all be in awe. Humble, huh?
So here's what I did.
Yup. Monster High themed Strawberry Lemonade cupcakes, personalized water bottles, and Monster Snack Chow (popcorn with cocoa powder and M&Ms) Awesome, right!? Not to 5yr olds. Most just licked the icing off the cupcakes and threw the "NOT VANILLA!" cupcake part away. Everything else they liked and my daughter had fun so that's all that should matter, right? Yeah ok.
Well for Danny's preschool birthday party, (the kid whose Mom I'm in a secret crafty competition with, and by secret I mean the competition is in my head) his Mom brought Batman cupcakes (vanilla, vanilla), juice boxes, and the most awesome goodie bags EVER! Chocked full of candy, lollipops, toys, activities, and a gel pen! His bags had a similar Batman themed personalized label on them too. Yup, I know this competition was only in my head but I lost round 2. (Round 1, she brought goodie bags for every kid at Halloween. I brought...nothing. I lost.)
Round 3 came in the form of the preschool graduation. It was a potluck! What better way for a baker to shine than a potluck!? I made these!
She wins! Hands down. I've lost the Crafty Mom Competition. I've been....outcrafted. But, next year, I'm comin back, with a vengeance!
Happy Summer everyone!
