100th Day of School

I don't remember ever celebrating the 100th day of school when I was in Elementary.  I remember celebrating "CHRISTMAS" instead of "WINTER BREAK" and getting out for "Spud Harvest," and especially celebrating that last day of school...but don't remember the schools ever making a new holiday called the 100th day.  I'm thinking that since there are 180 days of school....that celebrating that 100th day is sort of like our Wednesdays being the "hump day" of the week.  It's like National Teacher's "Hey We Made it More than Halfway Through The Year" Day!!! 

 

So with Tay, Rachey, and Brooklynn we've picked up things from the grocery store like, multi-flavored marshmallows, pretzel sticks, and raisins.  They brought these as their snack to share.  Now this year was Matthew's turn.  He didn't want any of those "boring" things.  Nope.  He wanted to bring 100 snack chip packages.  I let him know that that wasn't going to work.  So the next thing he wanted to bring was 100 sugar cookies.  Um...I realized at this point that I'm really just a lazy mom...because I told him I didn't have time to make 100 sugar cookies.  So then he thought of 100 pizza slices.  Sheesh!!! 

 

We finally agreed on bringing 100 pieces of colored elbow macaroni to glue onto his poster...and for snack?  He ended up bring 100 cheerios.  Yes, cheerios. 

I tried things like crackers (of all variety), chocolate chips, raisins, fruit snacks, and pretzels...but nope.  If he couldn't have chips or sugar cookies or pizza slices...it HAD to be cheerios. 

Matthew is so awesome and still makes me laugh every single day.  Here he is modeling his amazing 100th day hat that he made.  What a cute little 1st grader.
