Today was Nathan's last full-day (and last uniform-wearing day) of Kindergarten! Actually since today was school spirit day, I guess that would mean yesterday was his last uniform day. Anyway, I just had to snap a picture of him to see how much he's grown and changed, since it seems like just last week that…

The other day at dinner we somehow got onto the topic of Nathan moving on to first grade. After talking a little bit about what things might be different and what might be the same, he very matter-of-factly looked over at me and said, "Mom, I don't want to go to first grade!" I then,…

I'm all giddy with excitement today. Nathan announced to us a couple of weeks ago that his Kindergarten class would soon have their first field trip. After waiting patiently for info to be sent home in his backpack regarding the details of the field trip, something FINALLY came late last week! I am one of…

Today Will had his class Valentine's Day party. He had a ball eating, drinking, crafting, and playing with his classmates and I know all too well how fast this time will go by. I love going to his preschool parties and seeing him interact with his friends and teacher.♥ ♥

Nathan's school spelling bee was this afternoon and it was such a fun experience. For the past few days we have been practicing words but have emphasized to him that the main objective is to have fun. Try your best, yes, but have fun always! I'm happy to report he did both. The spelling bee was…

Nathan came home today from school and informed us that he'd won a spelling bee in his class. And, he was even more excited that because of his win, he would be competing in the school spelling bee on Friday. I nearly jumped into the ceiling with excitement! You see, I am a fourth grade…

These are a glimpse into our bookshelves that house the boxes I use to save and store ALL of the kids' papers and projects they've EVER brought home. Nathan has 4 boxes – one from 3 year old preschool, 4 year old preschool, Pre-K and now his Kindergarten box. I think he will need at least two…

For the second day in a row and about the 10th time since school started just a little over a month ago, Nathan (Kindergartener) has gotten reprimanded for talking too much. I am sure my mom will read this and get a chuckle, as I too remember being known for my blabbermouth. But, I don't…

Recently I had the opportunity to receive and review the awesome Back-to-School pack by Lovable Labels. I have always wanted to try these to see if they a) really and truly work and b) are indeed useful for a busy family like mine. I'm happy to report they proved affirmative on both…

Last week Will started preschool and he's done nothing but talk about it since! It's been so crazy hectic around here – getting ready for baby, hosting family in town, etc. that I haven't had time to blog about the big leap to preschool as I'd hoped to. The morning started out like any other. …
