Back to School

The school supplies have been purchased; the names have been put on the uniforms; the back packs have been packed; and we have met the teachers. I guess it is time to go to school!

When I left the work force to become a full-time mother, I could not image this day. It seemed like an eternity; however it was realized this past week. Yes, our baby boy is going to Kindergarten this year. Shannon will be in 3rd grade and Shelby in 7th grade.

It is a tradition at our house that I fix a back-to-school breakfast and a fun snack for after school. This year since Grant entered Kindergarten and started a day after the girls, I had to come up with two breakfasts and two afternoon snacks. The first day the girls received "ABC" pancakes, fresh sliced bananas and strawberries with blueberries and the snack after school was warm chocolate chip cookies. The day that Grant started school, I made "123" pancakes (since he loves adding numbers) and sliced fresh banana and strawberries with grapes. The afternoon snack with homemake chocolate chip ice cream sandwiches. We also celebrated with a picnic at the park after school on Tuesday...Daddy even joined us.

What a great start to a new school year!
