Welcome to my regular Friday feature, Worst of the Week. As a white, suburbanite husband and dad of two kids, there’s a lot that can go wrong and this entry is all about how to fix it. I hope you enjoy it!

Every week on Thursday Erin has ballet with a group of three girls that includes the girls riding the bus to the designated home it happens to be each week. The issue is that they get home at 4 and class is not until 5 – what to do for 60 minutes?

Why Gel Gems and Rice Krispie treats of course!

Patty had the brilliant idea of putting the girls to work (so to speak) by having them put up St. Patrick’s Day theme Gel Gems on the windows. The girls had a fun time and put them in all sorts of crazy positions. In between they had black and white Rice Krispie treats (a mix of both Regular and Cocoa – very yummy). They then got changed, gathered up their stuff and then Patty drove them to class.

All in all, a quick time filler; sure they could have played Wii or watched TV, but I think this was time better spent.
