Well....we did it and thanks Becky!

The first day is officially done!  I can't believe it!  It was certainly a day of mixed emotions for all of us I think.  We had a wonderful summer and were sad to see it go, but in the same breath, a new school year, a new adventure is always exciting!  I think overall Emma and Mark (and Adam) enjoyed their first day back.  BUT, poor Nathan was devasted!  He CRIED and CRIED when he found out he wasn't going to school.  Now it probably didn't help that Emma packed him a backpack (which he carried around ALL day), including a snack, and then that I just thought it was too cute and had to take pictures of him just like Emma and Mark.  So we probably convinced him he too was going.  When we left the school after drop off he wasn't too happy!  But we spent some of the day doing Nathan things like watching a "digger and dump truck" work for half an hour down the street and make cookies.  I think tomorrow (Wednesday...when you're reading this) will be a better day!

In the meantime I've been wanting to share this super sweet gift my friend Becky made for me.  We tried far too may times to get together over the past few months and life just passes by sometimes.  So, on a very last minute whim we got together for an hour last week and she so kindly gave me this sweet gift box (full of CHOCOLATES) and the rockin' card (I had to order both sets after she gave this to me!!!)  Aren't these projects fantastic!!!  Thank you Becky, I really appreciate them and the time and effort you put into them!!!!

Hope your Wednesday is fantastic and I'll be back again tomorrow!

You totally deserved it and it was fun to make!! The kids had a ton of fun at the park and it was well overdue! Thanks for all the positive feedback everyone!!

Oh poor Nathan. He looks so cute with his backpack all ready to go. I did think, when I first looked at the pic, that he looked a little young for school! It is nice that he is so enthusiastic though. I'll bet he is going to love being a "big" brother. I hope Emma and Mark enjoyed their first day back. Oh, and love the card and gift by the way - lucky you!

Your posting brings back many memories - when Josh started school (many years ago) I was crying; he turned to me and said "don't worry mom, I'll be back" That has to be 22yrs ago and I can still visualize him getting on the bus!
Nice gift Becky; you diserve it Heather --Enjoy the rest of your day!

Adorable photos Heather.
Nathan just wants to do the same things Emma and Mark do becasue he is a Big Boy now which is hard for going back to school but then again may be a big pluswhen the new baby arrives. Either way, all three of your munchkins look so cute.
Becky you really rocked out the card.
This set is on the top of my wish list as well.
