crescent cinnamon roll pastries

my oldest son is having a breakfast party this morning in his classroom.  it is an early dismissal day for him as it is the last day before they begin their winger break.  his first thought was to make a coffee cake but the recipes he liked were too time consuming for our afternoon schedule.  instead, we poked around the internet for a bit and stumbled across this super easy, fun, and quick recipe for cinnamon roll pastries. we had a great time making them and Luis was so proud of himself when all was said and done.  the best part?  he did the clean up :O)
