H and I decided to live it up while the kids went to school so we took Little Zelly and headed for the local dinosaur museum for Two Buck Tuesday, thinking everybody would be in school. Nope. Everybody not in school was at the dinosaur museum. It was a complete madhouse. But H still loved it, despite not seeing any live dinosaurs (he didn't quite believe me that we would only be seeing bones).
And I managed to finish the back-to-school cakes just in the nick of time. They're supposed to look like the kids' backpacks. You'll have to use your imagination a bit.
Despite the fact that I love having my kids home with me, I'm so glad they're back in school this year. The move, the renovation, the comings and goings of the summer have all meant absolutely no semblance of order in my life and I crave order. I'm a schedule girl.
I was really anxious about the kids' first day in a new school. We didn't get the track we wanted and Mister got put in a 5th/6th grade split class, which I was not happy about, but they both like their teachers and are in the process of making friends. So, all is well, all is well.

You've had a crazy summer and are due the structure and spurts of peace and quiet that come with school.
Paige was in a 2/3 combo class. I was worried about it but she ended up having a good year. I think its better to be in the lower grade than the higher grade in a combo class.
That's good to know, Courtney. Thanks!
The cake are great! Their backpacks... Cute idea! I always appreciate the routine of school too.
