      Yay! Glad you liked it! 🙂 Your airplane plane and party posts are a must read (especially for those little girl aviators). So much fun, and I know I’ll be using some of your ideas for my next transportation theme in preschool.

    I’m a little late in commenting, but we just had a construction Zone Breakfast with my son and it was a big hit! Maybe make it a construction zone snack for preschoolers 🙂
