My French contest is quickly approaching (the actual contest is April 21st). This Friday the registrations are all due so I will have a week of processing about 700 students' names and categories to print out certificates and assign them all to time slots. Whew! It's a huge task.
I was wanting to do some misc. tasks this week before the "deluge" and so I thought to get the little gifts for the volunteer judges together --- I give them a $5. Barnes and Noble gift card with a little "thank you" tag and a granola bar to snack on mid-morning if desired. (We pay for a continental breakfast for them as well as a lunch on-site, but I always think the extra snack is a plus!) So I enlisted Connell's help to put the 30 gift packs together --- he is helping with stringing the ribbon (feeding the little tags and gift cards on to it!) I have to tie the knots (his strength is not tying knots -- he failed that part of his preschool screening and he still can't do it after nearly a year of coaching - UGH!) I also have been curling the ribbon with the scissors.
Anyway, long story short --- I could do all of it myself but figured that it would occupy him for about an hour and so I asked him to help!

Tying knots? We didn't have that as part of our screening. Alex failed the drawing part, however. His people didn't really look like people, and that upset the testers. :)
