This might actually be one of my favorite times of the year. As a non-teacher working parent, I don't get to enjoy the everyday fun that summer brings. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE summer, but I also love fall and getting back into a routine. This is "reset" time for me. I really get back into meal planning and organization because that's what makes a happy house (and momma) and a smooth day/night. It also helps that the kids are still at an age where they are excited to get back to school. There is nothing like spending everyday with your best friends even if you are learning.
This year we have a first grader (say what?!?!). Luke started school on Monday.
He walked into school with a big smile and came out with one too.
Luke's teacher is Mrs. Niemiec. He has about 6 of the same kids from his class last year so that's always good to have some familiar faces.

Ty and Paige had a special day home with mommy!
Paige is in 4-year old preschool this year. She started on Tuesday. We are doing the full-day program just like we did last year.
All my concerns about the full-day program prior to the start of last school year are gone. She had a fabulous year and I know this year will be the same. Her teacher is Mrs. Rachanski.
Isn't she just the cutest in her jumper? :)
These 2 were totally into it for me that morning!
Next week starts a new adventure for Ty too. We are changing daycares. We've been at the same place since Luke was a baby so this is a big change for all of us, but it will definitely simplify our life by eliminating some extra driving.
Here's to a great school year for all of us!
