So it is 10:00 pm and what started at 3:00 this afternoon is now finished! Who knew that the first day of school was so much work! lol Each of the three school age little ones had their own supply lists this year. Adam had over 20 items and Addison and Alex had their fair share as well. I divided, labeled and packed the items today and here are a few pictures. This is the first year that Adam as needed real binders, folders and loose leaf paper. Wow he is growing up!!
Backpacks are stuffed to the gills and as you can see lunch boxes can't fit into the backpacks tomorrow!
The first day back deserves a special lunch right! I snuck out before Adam left and bought a few special things for the kids lunches and then hid them in the garage fridge and work bench! Lunchables, chips (Alex has Pirate Booty), apple slices or grapes, Crushables, yogurt, & water is the plan for tomorrow. As you can see I had some vinyl stickers made for the kids water bottles and sandwich/snack boxes. I think they turned out really well and can't wait for the kids to see them tomorrow :)
Tonight before the kids went to bed we set out our clothes for tomorrow and signed/filled out the first round of school/paperwork. Addison was given a CTR necklace from her Grandma Greg. I have saved it for her first day of school and as you can see it matches her dress perfectly! She is going to be so excited. She is nervous about going to a new school and not having Ms. Pat I am really hoping a surprise in the morning starts her first day of Kindergarten off right.
Adam has had a hygiene kit a few times now with being a big time 3rd grader! Addison on the other hand has not so... tonight as we were getting ready for bed I gave the kids their new kits and taught Addison how to use deodorant and apply her own toothpaste to her toothbrush. She also has her very own big girl brush now and pink nail polish(which Mommy still has in her room). We painted her toes and rolled her hair tonight in preparation for tomorrow morning. So much fun :)
Stay tuned for more fun and exciting pictures tomorrow!! Yay the first day of school is here :)
