It's Never Too Early For Cupcakes!

How lucky are my students? Incredibly lucky, I must say!

On Wednesday night, I made chocolate chip and sugar cookies to take to school on Friday for my teacher aides and students to celebrate the last day of school before the holidays. However, when I got home on Thursday afternoon, all but 3 of the cookies I had not already put in specific cookie tins were gone, eaten, devoured by Justin. I guess I can't blame him, they were wonderfully chewy! :)

So, last night's mission, on top of making cupcakes, was to make more chocolate chip cookies - lots of them.

This morning as I headed out the door, my arms were full of yummy goodies -  two cupcake carriers,  about 3 dozen chocolate chip cookies, and four teacher gifts makes for several trips.

When the kids strolled into the classroom this morning, I showed them the treats I had made for them but informed them we wouldn't be eating cupcakes until the following period. Only one of my students was not returning for that class so I told him, "Brendan, you aren't with us next period, however if you want a cupcake you may come by after school and get one." I was amazed by his reply, "I think I'll pass on the cupcakes, isn't it a little early for cupcakes?" 

First off, what kid doesn't think sugar is a major food group? Secondly, too early? When is NOT a good time to eat cupcakes (in the eyes of a kid)? 

Well, needless to say, the students in the following class certainly did not agree with Brendan and provided much needed compliments after hours of baking. I love my students, as much as they may make me want to pull my hair out, they always provide humor to my day.
