Not a creature was stirring not even a spouse,
The back packs were hung on their hooks with care,
Their crisp new outfits laid out nicely (so rare).
The children were nestled all snug in their beds,
with visions of pencils, crayons and notebooks in their heads,
The kitchen was quiet lunch boxes laid out,
ready for a big day tomorrow no doubt!
Bright and early we'll rise for the new school year ahead
"Lets make it the best!" Mom joyfully said.
Tomorrow is the big day, the kids can't wait, and I can't wait. Summer's been hard with all four home. Don't get me wrong I love my children but it is really hard entertaining them all day, keeping the house clean, keeping them from killing each other, and getting anything done. Luckily my kids are still at the age where they love the first day of school and they are excited. Carter is in first and Maddie in 4th. Carter gets to stay all day so no more running back to school at noon to pick up Carter. He'll be done at the same time as Maddie which is sooo nice. Sawyer starts preschool next week so much more to come on that.
We've had this fun tradition for the past few years of doing a fashion show the day before school starts. The kids get really into it and I love watching them model all their new clothes. This year we invited Chris and Amanda and my parents over for dinner and we had them watch the fashion show. Here's the kids posing for the camera. Sawyer was a little shy at first but warmed up.
The kids were so excited with each wardrobe change they threw their clothes off and put on another outfit. This is what their "Dressing Rooms" looked like when they were done!
