Recently christened “the Fun Mom” (by wiser parents), I let Piper invite her closest school buddies, one little sister and one little brother (Wesley’s age). They came home after school with us (after I taught—okay, “taught”—a full day in a 5th grade classroom) to start Winter Break off right.
After a taco dinner with red and white “wine” options, they decorated ugly sweater cookies (a shout out to Joe, as in Trader!).
(That face is Piper’s parting shot at me right before I scraped off most of her frosting and then let her eat it. This is not the first time we’ve done this routine.)
Then they watched Wall-E, and played until moms came. It was a lovely, if not slightly overwhelming, evening. Far better than when I’ve invited all the girls from her class, though. I dislike exclusivity, but the squealing of 20+ girls takes me from “Fun Mom” to “FU Mom”!
