Bought some Nutella yesterday. It’s not lasting long. I considered hiding it from the kids but decided against it. It is what it is.

We have our parent teacher conferences tomorrow. The way we do it is that kids are off for the day and we have meetings all day. So, tomorrow our Year 1 (KG) Team will have 21 15-minute meetings with parents.
