Back to School Fun!

New Clothes and School Supplies: √ New Shoes: √ Father's Blessings: √ Coordinating Phineas and Ferb Backpack and Lunch box with Perry the Platypus T-shirt and bright orange sneakers for Aaron: √
I think the boys are ready for an awesome first day of school. And Aaron will most definitely not get lost in the crowd :)



It's so hard to see the summer go, but as far as summer fun goes, ours was out of this world!

And drum roll please.....our new house will be done in 28 days!!!! It is looking amazing inside and out, and I can't wait to finally feel settled.



Now it's time for the boys to make new friends and begin our new lives here in California! I really admire them. I didn't have to pick up and move when I was young. Traveling for us was going more than an hour away and never out of state for the most part. Our kids have traveled cross country several times and left all of their friends behind. So when we arrive at our new place I am always anxious for them to meet new friends. We've had a great time getting to know my cousins' kids and that has really helped the boys have something to look forward to and friends to play with.

For all of the youngsters starting school this week or soon, have a great year!

Here are some fun ideas to kick off the new school year!

These are so good and addicting. You don't need a dehydrator to make them. Just an oven. And they go FAST! My kids would pull them off the pan when they were still warm.


Kaylee and I had fun with this little apple and worm. It's nice to have my girls with me at home while the boys are at school. I'd be lost without them!


I'm on a mission to diversify my boys' lunches this year. I bought some new things to organize and store their food in and hopefully open up the options. I'll have to share what works for us in the next couple of months. Here are some ideas I put together last year and found on the web.



Some fun sandwiches that I made for a play date. They were a huge hit!

Another play date lunch idea!


With living in a Residence Inn and with family while our new home is being built, I didn't have much opportunity to be creative this year, but here is what we made last year! I may still do these for back to school night in a couple of weeks.


These are so quick to whip up and the teachers loved them!

Pin It!
