I love back to school.
The smell of new school supplies. The sound of new schoolbook being opened for the first time. The slow, subtle changes that bring us Indian Summer.
I can't help but smile as the kids excitedly get on the bus; lunches in hand and new backpacks filled with school supplies. So many possibilities on their first day! So many new friends to make! After being together the whole summer, it's hard to imagine being apart from them, but it's time to make new memories.
Along with the quiet that follows when the bus pulls away comes the dilemma of what to do first. So many thoughts come to mind, but one in particular beckons to me. Now I have time to work on my Fairy Garden! It's something that I get wrapped up in and time passes so fast. I swear by the time I have everything the way I want it, they'll be back to tell me their days.
What's on your agenda to do as the kids go back to school?
I awoke in the morning
Ready to start my day,
Helped the kids get ready for school
While I got excited to play.

The bus pulled up
In front of the house,
I got them dressed
As quick as a mouse.
They jumped on the bus,
Eagerly waved goodbye,
As the bus pulled away
I wiped a tear from my eye.

Back in the house
I cleaned up the mess,
Rushed upstairs
And went to get dressed.
So much to do
No time to waste,
A little time for me,
I had to go without haste.
I put on my sunglasses,
Threw on my hat.
Grabbed my favorite book,
Almost stepped on the cat.
