A Sweet Day

Krispy Kreme Field Trip

Cade had a field trip with his preschool class to Krispy Kreme yesterday. Probably the best field trip of the season... I still remember my field trip to the "Twinkie" factory in grade school.

They showed us how the "powder" becomes dough, how the different donuts are formed, how to "fill" a jelly filled.

They can make 270 dozen donuts an hour.

Cade's favorite part was checking out the glaze waterfall.

The highlight was that each kid got to "make" their own donut.
Cade got more sprinkles on his donut than any other kid.

There's this kid Jaden in his class. Jaden is one of those 'know it all' kids who tattles on everyone and always has to one-up everyone. He CAN be very sweet, but he chooses not too be most of the time. On the bus ride, he turned around and this was part of our conversation...

Jaden: "Cade brought a gun to school today...a squirt gun, he showed it to me".

Me: "He did?"

Jaden: "I have a gun too"

Me: "Wow, well Cade really only has pretend guns"

Jaden: "Mine are real"

Me: "Really, aren't you too young to have a real gun"

Jaden: "I have a shotgun and a pistol...they're real"

Me: "Yes, you said that" (remembering I add...) "Cade has a nerf gun too, do you know what that is?"

Jaden: "Yeah, I have ten!"

Of course you do...I just had to laugh. Funny kid. I wonder what my kids say sometimes when I'm not around to hear them.

Cade's teacher told me a sweet story. They were explaining to their kids that their parents could go on the trip and they could either meet them at Krispy Kreme or that they could pay $1.00 and ride the bus with the school. He said, "my mommy can get some money out of my 'piddy bank' cause my mommy ran out of money".

Such a "sweet" kid!
