Back to School Fun!

After a two month sabbatical, I'm back, or at least I hope that I am! I know it has been way too long since my last post and so much has happened this summer! I have been dreading posting because I was overwhelmed with how behind I have gotten, But........ I have decided to just start with the here and now, if I get to it I will catch up on some of the summer, but if not that's okay, too! Let me just say that the summer was great, but entirely too short!

We began our back to school festivities on Friday with a scavenger hunt. This has become our tradition at the start of each year. The kids love it and get so excited running through the house searching for the clues and of course their treasure at the end! In the past, the kids have gotten new backpacks, school/art supplies, and this year it was Barnes and Noble gift cards. As soon as they finished the hunt, we all loaded up in the van and headed to choose their books. I enjoyed a yummy coffee from Starbucks while they looked for the perfect book! Afterwards, we went to Chick-fil-A for lunch and ice cream!
