First Day of School

With great anticipation, it arrived: The First Day of School!

Since it was a new school for both of them, there was a tinge of anxiety but you can't tell from these photos.
Madeleine was so excited to wear the new school uniform to 2nd grade. Sam, didn't care what he was wearing, he just wanted us to hurry up and go to Kindergarten. We were actually there 20 minutes before the bell rang!

Though there were no tears at drop off, I'll miss my little buddy during the day. I am so proud of him and he is so confident about this new experience. He is so ready. I suppose, I am too. Sort of... just... well..No mom wants to see their kids grow up so fast. Sigh... Just another chapter. It'll be a great one!

Cheers,
Christy

School Days

I am really busy these days with 3 kids 5 years old and under! (Busy is an understatement!) But to keep my sanity, I always try to sneak in a little time to be creative. I started these books for the kids this summer and have finally put some finishing touches on them. The books are 8" by 8" plain books from Fancy Pants. I bought last year's "ALL FALL" line on a deal last summer and it worked perfectly to embellish the books and document all their school years. I made a template in Word and printed pages to journal basic information about her school year. The page left blank for the picture is adhered on to be a pocket page to keep artwork, report cards, etc... Feel free to scrap-lift this idea. It was too easy to miss out on. If you want the template I used, just email me and I'll send it to you. No need to re-invent the wheel!I also made matching books for Sam and Max (no kidding, I know he is only 2 weeks old! What can I say....? I am planning for his education! ;) )

Thanks for checking in!
Cheers!
