Minions

I work at an Elementary School, and our class is OBSESSED with the movie "Despicable Me". We quote it, draw pictures, quote it, and sometimes act like the minions, or just call ourselves minions. I am really surprised that it caught on like wild fire.

And speaking of wild fire, we had to take a "snow day" to make-up the day we missed because of the Herriman Fire. (more info) The teachers all had meetings to attend all day, so us TA's had got to watch the kids all morning. Luckily we got out after lunch, and it still counted as a full day.

My sister, Trio #1, got to come and help me that day. After doing a very fun writing assignment, we got to watch "Despicable Me" and then make MINION TWINKIES! We got the idea from here (The Party Animal Blog). The lady who originally made them went to lots of precise detail, and we just let the kids go at it however they wanted. Here are the pictures to show you how creative and amazing our little minions are!

This is the one that we delivered to the Principal. 

She was a little confused at first as to what it was....
