back 2 school: part one

Do you remember the commercial from a few years ago that had a dad skipping through the school supply aisles at KMart (I think) to the tune of "It's the most wonderful time of the year"? That about sums up the mood around here. School starts Tuesday and it's not coming fast enough. Our big girl is starting kindergarten!!

We are soooo lucky that she will have the same teachers she had last year in PreK. (PreK and K are taught in the same room) Mrs. G is one of the most gifted teachers I have ever met. She made such a connection last year with Paige and the skills she mastered in her class were remarkable! I can't wait to see the growth she has this year.

We've been doing the usual B2S prep...new clothes, planning out the week, etc.



Aren't these darling???



This year her school is providing all the school supplies so, all we have to bring is her nap mat and backpack, both of which we used last year. (I cannot say enough good things about Hanna Andersson backpacks. They hold up so well, I couldn't find a reason not to use it a second year.)

I finished up the bows to match her school clothes.



I also found these cute monogrammed headbands on etsy.



Moms of girls (especially those who don't like big bows) will love She Does Hair. Be sure and check out her links to other girly hair-do blogs.

Stay tuned for B2S: part deux....LUNCH!
