School

Aahh.... the beginning of a new school year. I find myself always looking forward to September mainly because of excitement I get from shopping for school supplies! There is just something about the abundance of freshly stocked supplies that makes me happy.  And shopping for Fall clothes is pretty fun too!

I had plans to put up some festive school decorations throughout the house, but I guess from either time restraint or laziness, I just ended up putting new pencils in a small vase -- but glad because I really like how simple it was and soon will be moving on to Halloween decor!

Charlotte talked about school starting for weeks before. The summer was lots of fun, but all of us were craving more routine and structure.

First day of Spanish school.

I love that she chose to wear her Mexican dress on the 1st day! 

I searched Pinterest for ideas for teacher gifts, but when I found this idea on a friend's blog I immediately knew that this was what I wanted to do. So cool! 
The free printout is from Eighteen 25.

I bought the container from Micheals and filled it with with supplies from Office Depot and candy.  

Love how it turned out!

First Day of preschool/MDO.

It's hard to believe that this is her 3rd year there.... time moves too fast!
We are very excited about her teachers. They have a great curriculum planned that includes Handwriting Without Tears and because both teachers love science, there are multiple "lab projects" planned. They've even ordered lab coats for each student! Look out Charlotte..... You're in for a huge treat!

We could not have asked for a better start of the year. Charlotte is getting so big and so sweet! She gave each teacher big hugs and then got busy playing.

We love you so much girly!
