Calm Morning

Happy Wednesday Morning...

I finally have some time to catch up on my blogging. 

Today there is no school volunteering, no running errands, just staying home and catching up. 

Ahhhhhhh.... now where is my coffee.

Have a great day!

(By the way, this is one of my favorite fall candles... leaves from Bath and Body works. It's starting to look like fall, around my house anyways!)

A Day of Firsts...

Today was the first day of first grade for my baby... and the first day of sixth for my big girl. Gulp!

I think it was the hardest for me because it was the hardest for my big girl. Harder even than last year, and they knew no one. 

One more hour and I will be off to get them. 

The wait is killing me.

Hope your day is great!!!

Start of a new School year woes....

Good morning.

We are having a very easy going, last day before school starts. 

My girls are not to happy. The new school year bubble has burst. 

Unfortunately, none of their good friends are in their classes. My youngest one, who starts 1st grade is taking it in stride, being the social butterfly that she is, she knows that she will soon make many new freinds. My 6th grader, however, this is the end of the world. All of her new classmates are the ones she really didnt like last year. There is one or two that she actually had words with last year, and one that steals just about anything she can get her hands on. The teacher is not the one she wanted, but as far as I am concerned, is a good second choice, and her closest buddies are split in all directions. 

I am hoping that once she starts, that she will find ways to connect with them in other ways. 

Please, please, please, let this year be a good one for both of them. 

Tomorrow, we will see.

Hope your day is great.

Autumn Whites...

Hello, 

Happy Monday. We are officially on the back to school countdown. 10 days until school starts and getting back to order can begin.

And when that happens, All I can think about is Fall.

Pumpkin spice everything.

YUM!

But before that can happen, we have a yard sale, back to school night, and first week back. 

In the meantime, I am thinking about decorating with whites this fall. I think it may actually happen this year, (I talk about it every year). 

Have a great Monday!

Fresh Veggies

I am so sad we didnt get to plant the garden we wanted this year, definately a plan for next summer, but the next best thing, neighbors who take great care of us. 

Love the fresh veggies they are bringing us. 

And my girls are great helpers chopping and freezing. 

Have a great day!
