Really?????.....Um......REALLY????

So last Fri the kids were all celebrating Valentine's day at school. I looked and looked online and in magazines to find cute Valentine's to make. And I finally set my eye on this one that someone had made from bath bombs...but I thought I could achieve the same look with tootsie pops. So we did all the work and they looked cute.
But half way into the making of these, I realized that I was making miniature bombs for my kids to take to school. Oh! Crap. I thought that they looked sorta "mission impossible-ish," not "I- wanna- send- notice- with- my- child- that- I- may- bomb- the- school-ish." I did nothing for awhile even though we had some finished. I was trying to convince myself that they would get the humour in it that I did. I talked to Nolan's teacher about it because he is in a special ed classroom for his Asperger's and the teacher said that it was up to me, but sense they have kids with violent issues-(Nolan is not one of them) then it was not the best idea. I gave the ones he made to Bridger to take and made bug ones for him out of the leftover tootsie pops.
But I still thought it was okay to send Carli's bomb- themed Valentine's with her. 2 nights before the party, I was talking to a friend of mine and told her about the Valentine's. She said........" oh.....you are sooooooo gonna be on the news." I thought it was funny until I thought about it. She also told me of an instance where there was a small boy who brought a lego gun to school (A teeny weeny lego gun) He was almost expelled and his parents were on the news. They are now suing the school.
I didn't want Carli to get expelled and I really didn't want to be on the news, so Carli and I started talking about what else they could be. I thought maybe a microphone when turned upside down and we could do a "Valentine...you are such a rockstar" -thing. But she didn't like that. In the end, This Girl suggested that maybe they could be wands. Since Carli is so into Wizards of Waverly Place and Harry Potter we changed their tag and I don't hafta be on the news. Bomb Diffused...Crisis Adverted!
I guess my creativeness is explosive-LOL
