Today the Kidlet’s school is having thier annual “Run for the Arts” event.\u00c2\u00a0 Students collect pledges, then run laps for 30 minutes and collect the funds.\u00c2\u00a0 This money pays for additional art education \/ productions; this year\u00c2\u00a0each class\u00c2\u00a0is getting a visit with a local artist with hands-on fun.\u00c2\u00a0 It’s a worthy thing.\u00c2\u00a0 I know this.\u00c2\u00a0 PPS funding for music and arts and even physical education is essentially non-existant.\u00c2\u00a0 We are fortunate that our neighborhood has a lot of parent volunteers and enough wealthier families that the school raises enough money to provide these things.\u00c2\u00a0 Still.\u00c2\u00a0 I hate pledge drives.\u00c2\u00a0 Even in a less shaky economy, its no fun asking people for money, even your family and friends.\u00c2\u00a0 Perhaps especially your family and friends since they have a harder time saying no!\u00c2\u00a0 We ended up deciding how much total we could donate, and then split it up and pledged a little for each person we’d normally have gone to.<\/p>\n

The kindergarteners were so cute this morning when I dropped off my kidlet.\u00c2\u00a0 They are so excited about this run!\u00c2\u00a0 Running laps for 30 minutes in the cold doesn’t sound like MY idea of fun, but hey, whatever floats thier boats.\u00c2\u00a0 Half of them had on special running outfits, and all were bragging and one-upping on how many laps they would run.\u00c2\u00a0 Anywhoo, since today is Run for the Arts, I focused on that for the kidlet’s lunch.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"Kindergarten<\/a><\/p>\n

PB and J circle sandwich, cheese running shoe with spaghetti laces, strawberries and blackberries, carrot “Run!”, cauliflower and broccoli.<\/p>\n

Time spent: 20 minutes.\u00c2\u00a0 Around 10 to make the shoe and carrot letters, and 10 for assembly this morning.\u00c2\u00a0 The shoe was really easy.\u00c2\u00a0 I used a paper template to cut the same shape out of 3 slices of cheese (using the quilling tool, which I just drag through the cheese; it takes seconds.\u00c2\u00a0 MUCH faster than trying to do it with an exacto, knife or scissors.\u00c2\u00a0 It only works on soft things like cheese and bologna though, since its not a sharp edged tool), then cut 2 of the slices into smaller pieces – \u00c2\u00a0laying them on top of each other so they would match and\u00c2\u00a0would fit together like a puzzle.\u00c2\u00a0 Then I mixed and matched the pieces and layered those on the third (whole) cheese shoe which I used as\u00c2\u00a0the base.\u00c2\u00a0 I used a small round pastry tip to make the lace holes and threaded the spaghetti through.<\/p>\n

I think the shoe was actually easier than the letters, even though I have alphabet cutters for those!\u00c2\u00a0 It’s tough to get those tiny little letters out of the cutter without ripping\/breaking them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
