All over the country, yellow school buses are transporting children off to enjoy a new year of school. Has it started in you area yet? Last week my kiddos all headed back to school. The night before their first day I sat drinking my tea looking through some of their old drawings and papers from years past. "They" aren't lying when they say time flies! This year I have two middle schoolers and my youngest started Kindergarten! Yep, all 6 of my little loves are now in school. But to me it seems they were all just born yesterday.
I am having difficulty coming to terms with the reality that as each day passes I am needed less and less; with every new year they want to spend less time with me and more time with their friends. While I know I should be happy that they can maintain normal socialital relationships, I do miss the days where I was all they needed...all they wanted.
For years I have always done interviews with my children, so that we I can look back on these bittersweet times and remember them just as they were. This year I came across this wonderful blog Petite Lemon Blog. This year they created a free download —
My children and I really enjoyed filling out this interview (I had to help the little's) and I am sure this is going to be one of the many papers from their past that I read next year as they once again head back to school. Staying on this topic of Back-to-School right now Photo School for Moms is offering their Facebook Fans a downloadable guide - Capturing School Life. Be sure to head over to their Facebook page and download yours while it is still available.
How do you celebrate going back to school in your family? Do you host a little party? Do your children fill out interviews? Maybe, you take a last minute mini-vacation? Whatever/however you celebrate heading back please leave me a comment and let me know. I would love to hear all about it!
