Well, it’s crunch time – back to school and back to our regular routines. Above is probably where I’d rather be, suspended in a continual summer of swims at sunset, but all good things must come to an end and I love our regular life too!
I’m not a fan of the beginning or end of things, much preferring the middle – so I find back to school times unsettling. I’ll be a lot happier by around week three when I know how the year is shaping up and what it’s likely to hold.
I’m also a chronic back to school crier, however old my kids get (they’re now in years 3, 5, 7 and 9). I always find myself wiping away a few tears as I drive away from the first day drop-off. It’s a big deal to entrust their care to someone else.
To ease the transition into the new school year I followed a tutorial to make some treat bags for the first day breakfast table from Oh Happy Day. I love how they turned out – the little apple pompom is so cute!
Now that school is back, I’m back into my regular blogging schedule. I’ve got a couple of kids’ parties to share with you and then it’s back to completing my American road trip travelogue!
Do you like the return to school and do you cry on the first day like me!?
I love this! Atticus is so handsome! I too didn’t like the beginning and endings of things, but I didn’t cry when I dropped you off – except at boarding school – because I knew you were loving it so much.
The little bags! What fun.
Handsome is as handsome does! Thanks Swoo xx
I love it Sarah. I love reading a different take on everyone’s return to school.
Thanks Nat! I’d be interested to hear how you go with your five xx
