When the kids were in different schools, I gave myself a "grace period" where I did not join either of the parenting groups. I figured with kids at different schools....
But that came to an end this year when BabyP went to Big Kid school. I signed up to be a room mom, and Peanut's class is who I was assigned to. Funny enough, I actually know less parents in Peanut's class than BabyP, so it has been exciting to meet some new people.
Part of the duties of room mom is to help organize the party. I took the route of having everyone send me money. I actually did all the "work" which means planning and coordinating. It seems like a lot, but it isn't really. I set a budget and looked on Pintrest for some ideas. I was really happy with how it all turned out. and the kids seemed to have a good time. We actually ran out of time, which makes me happy!
I had them dress like snowmen. I thought this would either be really fun or a disaster. It was fun for some kids. No one was forced to do it, so that is great!
They also painted ornaments that I got for 3 dollars at Target. I set a budget of 50 dollars, so the craft had to be cheap!
They decorated Christmas trees with candy and icing. I also brought juice, cheese, and fruit to eat. Everyone seemed to have enough, and it worked out well.
