Mother of the Year



What does the "Mother of the Year" do for Halloween? Well...she decides on the afternoon of October 30th to make treats with the boys for their classmates. She ends up staying up until 1 am dipping (chocolate not skoal), sprinkling, packaging, tying cute bows and adding the all -important vintage Halloween sticker. Who appreciates this wonderful mother?? Certainly not her husband who cannot stand when she starts projects at the last minute...certainly not her own children who don't even like chocolate...and certainly not the classmates who ripped open the perfectly packaged goodies, tossing the cute ribbon and crumpled bag with vintage sticker aside to devour a small portion of the perfectly dipped and sprinkled pretzel or ghost before moving on to some other goodie bag provided by another wannabe mother of the year! And now, here I sit at 11 pm writing about this project, still hoping that someone will appreciate it! So sad...
