Christmas Presents for Teachers

Every year, I give the kids' teachers a little Christmas present. Usually it's fudge--milk chocolate and white chocolate. I've been giving Conor's teacher this present for five years now, as she was Anna's teacher too. I know she loves my fudge, so I'll probably make her a little again this year.

However, making fudge for seven middle school teachers is going to get very expensive. I think I'm going to put small jars of different types of homemade jellies and jams in little boxes or baskets for Anna's teachers this year.

I think I have my weekend planned out. Conor will definitely help me cook, and it's been a great way to teach him about fractions in the past. He loves to cook--he can even make pancakes by himself! Not bad for nine. Anna loses focus pretty quickly, so she'll probably give something a quick chop or stir and then ask to lick the bowl when everything is done. She can boil water, but that's about it.
