I really dread when the kids go back to school and all that comes with it - carpools, homework, projects, soccer, piano, dance, yada yada... It just STINKS!!!
I do love the creativity it gives me to think of ways to make the best first impression on the teachers, if you know what I mean! I even got a phone call from one of the teachers saying she had never been "bribed" so early on before! :0) "That's how I roll" is all I could say in response!
These were for the teachers!
These were for my kids lunches!
These were made post-haste for the first day of school pictures!
My 7th grader literally is so sweet and asked me very kindly if she was supposed to wear it all day long! She was so scared the answer would be YES!!
Maddie is a big 5th grader and she is really good at taking care of her little sister! They were pretty excited to head off to school today!
This boy is all about his mama and he had to be given at least 7 pieces of gum to pose for a picture as he was crying that he wanted to stay home with me and play tug-of-war (don't know where that came from!)
To get over the guilty mom feeling of having some free time today - I made some welcome home brownies so they know I was thinking about them!Those were eaten within seconds!
Only 169 more days to go!

How sweet of Caitlin to worry she might have to wear that sign all day. Welcome back to school!
Dude...you bring bribes to a whole new level! I bet they are all on the honor roll this year! :) I'm teasing...who wouldn't want your kids in their class...My Mackenzie is obsessed with your kids...:) We love you guys!
I think it's so cute that your oldest wanted to know if she had to wear her sign all day :-)!
I really kind of hate it when they go back too. Love all your ideas! And how sweet that Parker wanted to stay with Mom. I love that about little boys.
