Today was Charlie's pretend birthday at school. The official school year ends this week and so they are giving the kids with summer birthdays a party. Typically, parents order cupcakes from the school or bring in doughnuts or ice cream. Because Prince Charles doesn't like any of those normally delicious items, I asked the teacher if I could bring in cookies. She said yes but that they needed to be Kosher. Well silly me, I did a 2-minute Google search on the topic and thought I was good to do anything I wanted. He requested "Heart cookies" which was from a memory of some yummy frosted suger cookies Grandma sent for Valentine's Day. I couldn't find a heart cookie cutter but found something way more exciting... planes, trains and race cars! Charlie helped to make the cookie dough but them I finished them up after he went to bed the night before the party. He was sooo excited the next morning when we saw them and as we carted them into school. Of course I learned later that they were in no way Kosher so the teacher couldn't serve them. I was so bummed. Charlie got to have 3 at the party though and they had plenty of other treats for the other kids. I hear the teachers enjoyed the other 17 cookies that were left over too :)
"Um, can I have one of these?"
"Like right now?"
