There was even an appearance from Zero the Hero. He is a masked super hero that appears in a flash in her classroom on days that end in "0". He runs through the room leaving treats at their desk, and the kids always look forward to the 10th and 20th and 30th days of each calendar month. I heard on Monday that he made three appearances throughout the day in their classroom. Abigail was so excited, describing him as a man wearing a swimsuit, goggles and a cape. Wow!
As usual, I had many creative ideas for what item Abigail could take 100 of to share with her classmates. Many of my Facebook friends gave great suggestions, and I was having a hard time choosing. The choice became much easier though, because I waited until the last minute to actually get it together. It was halftime of the Super Bowl Sunday night when I ran up to the grocery store in search of something cheap and easy to duplicate 100 times.
Abigail especially wanted to take something edible because they were going to get to eat everything that was edible. In my mind, that sounded horribly unhealthy because I've seen what the other kids bring for lunch so I decided it would be a good idea to stick with fruit so I picked up grapes. Not having any idea what 100 grapes looked like, I just picked up a bunch of grapes. Surprisingly, 100 grapes is not that many and looks like this.
So, we have A LOT of grapes left over.
The kids are probably sick of grapes because I've been feeding them grapes every chance I could this week. But, it ended up being a great choice. When I saw the plethora of cookies, sugar cereal and candy that Abigail amassed from what the other kids shared with her, I knew the grapes were the best decision I could have made.
