If you tell the kids not to open anything 'til they get home would that help? I do that with goodie bags for parties sometimes so if I have to make them different because of running out of stuff nobody knows.
I got up right at 6, no snooze, because Scott woke me up at 5:45 to ask me to help him find the credit card. Turns out it was right where I had told him but he didn't see it so that was good. I hate when I actually lose stuff that he needs! But that woke me up and when my alarm went off 15 minutes later I managed to get busy right away. Before I took the kids to school I fried bacon for a potato dish for Christmas, measured out all of the ingredients for 2 different kinds of cookies (choc chip and pb blossoms, my first time making the pb blossoms) and made a batch of salsa. I even cleaned as I went until the salsa but the kitchen is a little messy now.
Going to make a schedule and start working. You around yet Sara? You've probably already done twice as much as me but for me this is pretty good!
