Back-to-School

I can hardly believe it's that time of year again...Back-to-School.  We did the school list shopping and even bought a few new items to wear.  But, it still didn't seem real.  We had our school open house and hosted our 3rd Annual Back-to-School bash last night.  But, until reading "The Kissing Hand" right before bed, it hadn't really hit me.  I swallowed hard and read slowly in some parts, then kissed each kids' hand...now it was real.  School is here.  Sophie is going to Kindergarten.  And, Lainey will be in 2nd Grade.  Sawyer will start preschool in a couple weeks.  Where did the time go?  I'm afraid to blink.

Makings for the famous sundaes at our 3rd annual Back-to-School bash! 

love our neighbors 

One of my favorite things to do at our Back-to-School bash is dish out ice cream for sundaes.  I LOVE listening to the kids comment on all the toppings. 

Lainey's 1st day of 2nd Grade!  What a beautiful girl!

Our teacher gift we made for the teachers.  I found this on a cute blog.  It's SO easy just using Rolos, a Hershey kiss and cardstock.  FUN!  The kids were SO excited about them!
