Ending the school year with a little Surprise

In case you haven’t heard, a new Minion movie is coming out in July.  I don’t know about your kids, but mine are just obsessed with everything Minion.  Not only do they call all of the “Despicable Me” movies the “Minion movies”, but they love watching montages of short minion clips on YouTube… on repeat! I have to say, I can’t blame them. They are pretty cute and funny.  I have been known to laugh out loud on more than one occasion when watching Despicable Me.

To get my boys excited for the upcoming release (as if they weren’t already), I purchased a few (okay – six), Kinder Surprise Eggs as treats.  The new Eggs have 11 different Minion toys in them and the boys couldn’t wait to see what they received. I even broke the golden rule of only opening up the eggs that we’re going to eat just so we can see which toys we got.

The thing is, we’re not the only ones who are in love with everything Minion.  My oldest son Kyle’s teacher also likes them; I know, because she dressed as one for Halloween and she loves giving the kids Minion stickers.  Also, my son started liking them more after his teacher said she did, so there’s that.  Anyway, this week is the last week of school and my son’s class is having an end of the year party.  Everyone is asked to bring one snack or treat to the party.  As a KinderMom, it’s clearly my responsibility to bring everyone a Kinder Egg Surprise.  Well, not really, but when I went to look at the list of food option, I was a little late and everything was already taken.  Besides, I think it will be a hit with the kids and they’re Nut Free.  Also, I think Kyle’s teacher would appreciate it because of the toys inside (yes, I got one for her too).

I can’t wait to see the children’s faces tomorrow when my son surprises his friends with a Kinder Surprise Egg.  I think it will be a really SWEET way to end off the year.
