Third Grade Sale.

Every year the third grade at Lauren's schools hosts a sale. One of the purposes of the sale is to learn about economics. Lauren had to decided what she wanted make, determine the cost to make the product, make the product, and price the product. Lauren chose flower bows.

Parental help was allowed, I was in charge of anything that required the hot glue gun.

This sounds like a wonderful learning project. Hurray for school education and Mom's who help. Your colorful dress/ nightgown, or whatever you call it reminds me of Aunt Lora Dawn.
