But I guess that just isn't cool with this second grade crowd.<BR/><BR/>MG - I lived with a trained chef for ten years - he always said that when it came to kids - a box mix didn't make one bit of difference. It was just be be a neurotic working mom. I'm sure I'll do other ridiculous overcompensating acts in the future!!!<BR/><BR/>candy - I'm really going to try to post my own photos. My husband said he's willing to attempt our millionth training session on the topic.<BR/><BR/>kranki - Actually I had classroom parties when I was a kid but they stopped at second grade. You usually had a party in class when you were a summer kid. (i'm born in August). I just never celebrated my birthday six or seven times each year.....<BR/>but maybe we all should because it might cheer us up.east village idiothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02030258480344283688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14099114.post-1146505273535252282006-05-01T13:41:00.000-04:002006-05-01T13:41:00.000-04:00That is so typical.

I wonder when classroom birthday celebrations started because we never did that when I was a kid. Bummer.

Hope you somehow get used to taking the photos and dragging them onto your desktop and then pressing "photo" and choose in your post editor here in your editing blogspot area.......it took me a while but I got it going now... I love seeing phots of life in NYC. Blogspot re-vamped their photo edit system so no one needs flickr anymore. You are so lucky and so cool to have that rent stablized apartment wow!<BR/><BR/>Cheers,<BR/>Candy<BR/><BR/>http://gnosticminx.blogspot.comCandy Minxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07350752657678863378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14099114.post-1146495423052706662006-05-01T10:57:00.000-04:002006-05-01T10:57:00.000-04:00I loved the part about the kitchens in the city - ...I loved the part about the kitchens in the city - so true. I remember unpacking box after box of dishes and glassware when we moved into our place, wondering where in the world we were going to put it all.<BR/><BR/>I now have a kitchen with more than adequate cabinet space and an island to boot, but you will find Pillsbury cake mixes in my pantry because I still value my time more than baking from scratch. And Tacy doesn't care either.<BR/><BR/>I hope Ben is feeling better.Julie Marshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05386446012443269817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14099114.post-1146410513686993612006-04-30T11:21:00.000-04:002006-04-30T11:21:00.000-04:00Two of my students brought in chocolate cupcakes t...Two of my students brought in chocolate cupcakes this week. (I'm certain that both frosting and cupcakes were out of cans/boxes). No one noticed. Chocolate makes such a mess that if any of my parents ask what to bring for birthday snack I put on my pitiful face and say "Please do not bring chocolate cupcakes." There is something about the texture that makes them so delicious and yet oh so crumbly and then it gets all over the floor etc which I then have to clean so the janitor doesn't get upset. A couple of weeks ago I had a parent of a child turning 2 who brought in a yellow two layer cake with icing (straight from the bakery) with forks and paper plates and those children didn't leave hardly any mess and they are all turning 2!! It comes down to the texture (and maybe messy eaters :-)jodihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10512572406681071671noreply@blogger.com
