There were times this summer, if asked, I would tell you that my favorite color is Schoolbus Yellow. LOL But when the first day of school actually arrived, I was not ready. Not ready for my sweet baby girl to look so big as a Second Grader. Second Grade. I vividly remember my first day of second grade. (This was my all time favorite grade and favorite teacher.) So how is it that my "baby" is now a seasoned elementary schooler?!
So, uniform laid out; backpack packed; and school lunch made. I forgot to take her picture for the first day with her cool backpack. She explained the importance of not having a "lame" backpack. (what?! lame?) Then in carpool line, she declared that now a second grader, she is too old for hugs and kisses from her mom. Not just in public, but ever. I have been boo-hooing all day. I thought that did not happen until 5th grade. ugh!
It has been a tough day. I am about to make myself a big batch of my Brownies to drown my sorrows.
In the spirit of back to school, I wanted to share with you a really cool tutorial by Noell Hyman. School work scrapbook Paperclipping's Tutorial You should check it out.
off to death by chocolate. Farewell, friends. ;-)
I'm so sorry. I hope the brownies helped.
