back-to-school :: 2010

I started a tradition last year with these back-to-school schultüte’s and brought them out again this year.  I was a little late in the game in getting some goodies to fill them with … but that turned out to be a blessing!

When I bumped into this earlier in the week, I knew it would be perfect and scrambled to get it together for the girls.  I was worried they would think “huh?”  But they totally loved it.  They gathered all their little things together and sat around me, picking up each item as we read the corresponding note to go with it.  Piper even taped her little cards to her bed.

Um, yeah.  Hunter’s been our little fashionista lately.  This headband is a photo prop, but she’s sort of claimed it as her own.  She even wore it to school yesterday … Lord, help us!  But I s’pose, if anyone can pull it off, my cutie pie can!

And here are my girlies on their first day of school.  Well … actually, Taylor hasn’t started yet.  I’m running into some glitches and red tape in getting her curriculum, but hopefully sometime next week she’ll be starting.  It’s been nice having her hanging around with me though!

Hope your school year is off to a great start!  Oh! and those Ireland photos I threatened promised you? hopefully next week … things have been a wee bit unexpected {with a tad of crazy thrown in} around here!

    i so LOVE this back to schoolio idea!
    glitches with curriculum? that doesn’t sound good. but then again, the best things in life sometimes don’t flow like melted butter….so must just be a frozen butter deal of a week. (:
    your little ones are so cute in their uniforms! i always wished i’d attended where we had had a uniform. i’m a creative person, but atleast that way i could’ve saved my creative juices for other areas in life….not to mention plenty of saved time & piles of clothes all over my room from indecision in the mornings. lol.
    now that i’m thinking about it, i may even like that idea for my daisy! though she’d have my hide.
    anyhow, sorry for the super early morning, inner ramblings. perhaps i should head back to bed for an hour or two. have a great friday!

    Love the back-to-school goodies! Hate to hear about the glitches but maybe there’s a blessing in there just waiting to be found :-)

    Can’t wait to meet your lovely daughters in person next month. Can you believe it, only two weeks to go?!
