Today marked the first official day of Kindergarten – uniforms and all. Of course there was no way I could resist the urge to take pictures – AGAIN! But, good thing I have a pretty photogenic and cooperative boy! Nathan began the day with mini-bagels slathered with strawberry cream cheese and OJ…

Kindergarten Hour.
Today was Nathan's first day hour of Kindergarten. Despite the early morning hour, he was rather easy to wake up, much to my surprise. We took the traditional pictures of him and of course, our ever-popular back-to-school interview. Kindergarten interview from Candy Tai on Vimeo. School was only for an…

Kindergarten Eve.
We celebrated 'Kindergarten Eve' here today as my Nathan gets ready to head off (officially) for Kindergarten tomorrow morning. It's sort of a 'fake' first day of Kinder if you ask me, since he's only going for an hour! But nonetheless, it's still THE FIRST DAY OF KINDERGARTEN tomorrow! I…

Mom Must-Have Printables for Simplifying Your Life.
Gearing up for delving into the world of becoming the mother of an elementary school student has consumed most of my days for the past few weeks. I’ve been in a ‘nesting’ sort of mode – clearing out cabinets and storage areas, and rearranging areas in our house to accomodate…

Back-to-School ~ Two weeks and counting.
Yesterday we began our two-week countdown till Nathan officially starts Kindergarten. He's ready. I'm totally ready. But, not emotionally.

School Supplies . . . Check.
Last week before the boys left town, I took Nathan for his first official school supply shopping spree. I know, I know, I am so sentimental, but I can't help it. I LOVE school supply shopping and since Target had all their junk out already, I decided it would be…

We've made two trips to the library just this week and have filled our library book baskets in our family room with lots o' great reads. Both Nathan and Will are in the summer reading program and loving to jot down each day the books they've read onto their summer…

Last Day of Pre-K
Today was such a bittersweet day for me as I am sure it has been for many of you who have Kindergarten and older kids. It was Nathan's last day of Pre-K! Thankfully, though, it's not his last day being at the school we have come to love over the…

Wacky Wednesday.
Nathan is trying to run his school, seriously. A while back he suggested to his teacher that they needed to have a Wacky Wednesday as they did at his "old" preschool. He explained to her what exactly a Wacky Wednesday was and she went for it! Today was the designated…

I feel better already.
Today's been a day of recovery for us here at the T household. Yesterday morning I woke up feeling totally off. I could tell it was much more than just morning/pregnancy sickness. We skipped Will's Kindermusik class and I didn't get out of bed until about 10:30. As I was…
