The Cool Mom Campaign Update

I'm sure you've all been wondering how the "Cool Mom" Campaign has been going. Now that the summer portion of the campign is complete I feel confident enough to say I achieved all the goals I set for myself. I had kids galore here all summer. I pumped them full of Kool-Aid jammers, Teddy Grahams and Goldfish crackers. I played their make believe games. I calmly settled disputes and helped them work out solutions to disagreements. I sent my daughter out to play and got reports back that she had very good manners and was "no trouble at all". So mission accomplished.

Now it's time to roll out the fall portion of the campaign. Now this campaign will have a lot more variables then the summer one did. You see the summer campaign was really a hands on campaign. This one I'll have to conduct from home while my troop is out in the field. So for my first manuver I give you....

the puzzle sandwich, which I shamelessly stole from the Kraft Canada website.

Me: Abby how was your sandwich today?
Abby: It was a star sandwich.
Me: Yes I know, did you like it?
Abby: I loved it. My teacher liked it too.
Me: Your teacher said she liked it? What did she say?
Abby: Oh Mommy made you a star.

I'll declare that a victory. And the Cool Mom Campaign continues.
