First Day of School

I don't know what it is about the first day of school that makes me want to start blogging again. Probably because I look at my kids and think where has the time gone? I am lucky to have kids that love school. They were even besides themselves about back to school night. And I admit I love this time of year too. I was so excited this morning I was up at 6:30 this morning making cinnamon rolls and sharpening pencils. I love school shopping, lists, new backpacks, the whole thing. Lauren, Nathan and Luke will all be in the same school this year which I think will be the only time this will ever happen. Lauren is in 6th grade, Nathan in 4th and Luke starts Kindergarten next week. After a crazy busy summer I may actually be productive again. I always have big expectations for myself when the kids get back in school....I'm going to scrapbook, finish a book in less than a month, clean out and declutter closets, and other projects that won't get done. I love first day pictures. My kids are usually pretty patient and I even got a diva pose from Lauren this year. I am blessed with such great kids. And I did the usual "pretend like you love each other" picture of Lauren and Nate to which they usually respond...we do love each other mom! That's what I want to hear.
