Counting down: 1 day left {Tying up loose ends}




Yesterday we tied up some loose ends and got everything ready for today


A new violin was first on our list
Spencer had the half size and really needed to upgrade mid year but it just didn't happen
I was ecstatic to walk in to West Music and be walking back out in less than 5 minutes


We couldn't drive an hour there and an hour back for just one errand
so we hit up a few of our favorite stores
We picked up some plates and napkins for Parker's birthday at 40% off
and
the boys oohed and aahed over the Under Armour clothes at TJ maxx


We came home and I let the kids have some time playing with friends
while I checked the back packs to make sure we had everything we needed
before heading off to back to school night 


I'm not sure what the big deal is at the schools these days
 but they won't tell you who your teacher is until the night before school starts
It's all fine and dandy if you get your teacher of choice
but if you don't, you might need more than 14 hours to adjust and come to terms with it

The smiles say it all

Not only is this boy relieved he got his first pick, this mam is beyond thrilled
Mrs. Yahn is AMAZING and I know without a doubt we are going to have a great school year

  1. So, how did things go this morning?? We have been practicing getting ready for school in the morning. I'm hoping for no more yelling and fighting at 8:00 every morning when I'm trying to get the boys to buckle down and get their shoes, coats and back packs on. The worst way to start the day! And it's not like they have to search for anything, it's all by the door! Sheesh. :)
