Graduation Week

We are having an open house Thursday night after the ceremony and yesterday I made these little things. The recipe is from this Taste of Home online recipe, but I modified it a little. I used Ghiaradelli chocolates on top of miniature Reese cups (both upside down). The tassel is blue fruit roll-up held in place with a blue M&M (Andrew got the job of slicing the fruit roll-up into thin strips). (I guess they might need to be trimmed a little so they lay flatter.) The "glue" is chocolate frosting, the homemade kind that gets a little hard as it sets up. I think I'll use them for decorations, but have a feeling that they will disappear as the evening goes on . . .

So today I bake a cake and continue getting ready. Fortunately, other than going to evening programs (kindergarten graduation, baccalaureate, and then graduation on Thursday) I don't have to be at school until the senior luncheon on Thursday. It is wonderful to have some preparation time over the next couple of days.

It is an exciting time.
