Welcome to the first day of school

Well, not for us. We took a break in June and came back in July. However, some of our favorite friends had their first day today. In honor of that, we (instead of school!) made these fun back-to-school baskets. And thanks to Aidan-no kid got left behind (he insisted on one for Josh-I wasn't thinking; he did start a new preschool!). A quick trip to the Dollar Tree-and off we went. The blue sky quickly turned to gray; and of course it was raining cats and dogs as we headed over to deliver our goodies. Still, it was great fun-and we can't wait to do it again for the next round of friends heading back to school next week.
Oh, the joys of homeschool-yes! we are still in our pj's at noon:)
I have no idea why, but Aidan grossly protested his picture being taken for the basket-this was the best of the 6 I took-if I hadn't asked for a pose he would have been all over it! Bryce was happy-I must have caught him between smiles-

A special thanks to Aunt Tanny-your goodie box from our trip to TX lives on!
