{Off They Went}
I know this post will be really boring to most of you but it's how my blog rolls. School started yesterday and as much as they bickered with each other this summer I'm going to miss them. But can I also say that my house was so nice and quiet when they left. It was my own little form of heaven. They all had a great day & the teachers loved their gifts I do believe that I am now the official pencil supplier for the kids school! I'm hoping that with the kids gone I can get some projects started/finished and posted! I am excited to get my fall decor up I just need to get my house in order before any decorating can happen. So if you'll hang with me for a bit I promise to post something a little more excited for you all to see. :)
I know how you feel. I missed mine so much the first few days, but I would come back from taking them to school and just sit in the house and listen to the silence. Wow, it hasn't been like this in forever. Quite a difference when they come home at the end of the day, but yes, it is nice to be able to think in one complete sentence and go to the bathroom by myself. Enjoy it.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy it Rachel. Can't wait to see what you get done!
ReplyDeleteI hear ya. Nice to have them nice to have them gone. Forgot my camera first day of school. Got one the 2nd day of school but they are all bundled up b/c of one of the hurricanes that dumped rain on us. Thought i'd get them today in their dressed up uniforms (thursday is chapel day and they wear ties and jumpers in plaid that i love) but it is to be more than 85 today so they allow shorts and no dress up uniforms. UGH! So i haven't been able to post first day of school pix just yet. Maybe next thursday. Sigh.....
ReplyDeleteRachel...they are so cute! I can't wait till Lexi starts next year but between me and you she already thinks she is in school. hehehe...I hope they have a great year! Oh and they already have jackets on, it must be cool where you are.
ReplyDeleteHow cute are they?? I can't wait to see all the projects you get done!
ReplyDeleteI love the first day of school pics. Mine were a bit odd this year because only 2 of the kids started on the first day. Yah, one a freshman, one in 7th grade and one in elementary. It has been a great week so far, just haven't had time to post yet. Oh, ya soccer started this week too. Enjoy your time while they are at school.
ReplyDeleteYou have the cutest kids! I know what you mean, my house was so nice and quiet...love it!

ReplyDeletecan't wait for the quiet house today! actually i have mixed emotions because the one leaving usually helps a lot! so does this mean that you will not be divulging the vinyl secrets that you hold so dear to your heart!?! next time i need a pencil i'll stop by:) enjoy the silence! :) it will surely be short lived much like mine will be :) they grow up too fast!
ReplyDeleteI love how each year you get a picture of the bus in the distance with all them facing it. I just really like that. I want that same pose when Ginger goes to school.
ReplyDeleteBoy, your kids look NOTHING alike, do they? Tee hee. Yeah, right. I totally know what you're saying about quiet Heaven. . . I am finding MANY ways to procrastinate actually getting things accomplished. I need to get my first quilting project finished. . .
ReplyDelete♥ Happy quiet house!!! :)
ReplyDeleteSo how is it going to be with Brinley gone all day? Is she excited?
Let me know if you really get more done. I have yet to hit that point yet. i swear, just cause my kids are gone-I get less done cause I think that I have more time. I really need to fix that!
ReplyDeleteI want to know more about those pencil containers. Tell me how you got the letters on there!!!
ReplyDeletePretty please! I love your blog!!
Hope you're enjoying your day. Very cute kids!
ReplyDeleteI know how you feel! I just put our youngest on the bus and she will be gone all day because she is in 1st grade now...I thought it would be really lonely, but it's actually been really pleasant and quiet around here...and no problem hanging with you, I think most everyone's in the same boat! (Trying to pull the house together to some sense of order, wanting to get to the fun stuff, projects! :)
ReplyDeleteI really LOVE your blog! :) It is NEVER ever boring!

ReplyDeleteThose are great school pictures for the first day ....the bus coming is great!!! I love it! Enjoy your new schedule...I love love love the pencil holders. I was a teacher and would of been thrilled to receive that as a first day gift!

Isn't it amazing how quiet the house is when the kiddos are gone? DARLING teacher gifts..I'm so impressed.
ReplyDeleteThe teacher gifts rock. Don't you just love the bus? They look so cute heading off on their new adventure. Did you get my email?
ReplyDeleteLook at those smiles!
ReplyDeleteLove the gifts you made for the teachers. I'm storing this idea away!
Oh my goodness! This is so sweet and I love the picture of them all heading towards the bus ready to conquer it! I also LOVE the teacher gifts. My SIL is a teacher's aid and this will be PERFECT for her with something sassy on it.
ReplyDeleteHappy school year/ love the sweet smiles of our grandkid's they will enjoy school,and tell them we love them. grandma and grandma M. p.s. Happy quite home.
ReplyDeleteHURRAY! And thats all I have to say about that. Cute pictures too!
ReplyDeleteCute school pics. I sent my youngest off to all-day kindergarten a couple of weeks ago. About killed me. He loves school and I'm loving my free time, so I'm over it. But... I did miss getting the fun pics. He was sick his first day and then they wouldn't let us escort them into the classroom. Not a great photo op time.
ReplyDeleteHad fun checking out your blog today. Stop by for a visit any time.
