thanks a melon
Last night I had my last board meeting for my son's preschool. I was co-president this year and wanted to do a little something to thank everyone for all of their efforts to volunteer for the school. As I have mentioned before I love to make sugar cookies. I already had some dough in the freezer so I quickly rolled it and cut it into the shapes of watermelons. I frosted them with two colors and popped a round black sprinkle into the holes for "seeds." I packaged them in white glassine bags which I stamped with "thanks a melon." These would also make darling end of year teacher gifts too.
I am finally feeling like my school year commitments are over and I am ready to start enjoying the summer. We are leaving on Saturday for a week at the Cape. Besides celebrating the 4th of July with lobsters and fireworks, the next day my husband and I will be celebrating our ninth wedding anniversary! You guys helped me pick a great movie for our seventh anniversary "Seven Year Itch" and last year I got "Dinner at Eight." Any good suggestions for our ninth?!

watermelon whale
Last week my daughter had her pre-school graduation and I signed up to bring watermelon. Since her school mascot is a whale I thought it would be fun to carve the watermelon into the shape of a whale. I found the directions in the book "Summer" by Susan Branch. It was actually quite simple to do and the kids got a kick out of it. This is a great thing to bring to a potluck or BBQ because you can throw away (or compost) the watermelon when the fruit salad is all gone!
