School's Begun, Oh What Fun!


Well it's that time again...Back to School time! This time of year always brings mixed feelings for me. It's a fresh start, new teachers, new friends, new schedule, new routine, early bed times, etc. However, it's also an end to the freedom of summer, pool time, staying up late, etc. Sometimes I feel like I start school when Katherine does because I have to get up early with her, take her to the bus, pack her lunches, and get myself on a schedule so I can keep up with everything. However, routine is good and it always seems to make everyone more at ease with things. As for my morning, I get up at 6 a.m. and go jogging, come back and get Katherine up and ready for school, eat breakfast, take Katherine to bus by 6:45, and then head back home for the day to begin with the boys. No matter how crazy some days seem, it's all worth it in the end! So, here are a few pictures of Katherine's first day headed to 1st grade!

Up early...heading to school

The thing Katherine didn't like about going back to school was having to get up early. She loves to sleep in so this is definitely something she doesn't like. But once she gets into the swing of things, she'll enjoy it. I was surprised that her class didn't have any of her friends in it from Kindergarten, but at least she'll have the opportunity to start over and make all new friends!

In front of her new classroom...

Her teacher this year, Mrs. Payne, really seems more "put together" and less frazzled by the kids. She had little goodie bags on the kids desks when they came in and just seemed very comfortable and relaxed. I think she interacted with the parents well too. At her Open House, Katherine even said "Well that didn't seem as bad as I thought it would be." I think Mrs. Payne will make learning fun for Katherine!

I think she'll do great and I can't wait to hear all abour her day when she gets home. Now it's off to entertain the boys!

I remember you posting last year about Katherine's first day of kindergarten and thinking how hard that must be! Matt and I just realized while watching the Olympics that the next time they are on, Chloe will be heading to kindergarten right after they are over! It brings tears to my eyes! And then Hannah will be following her the very next year!

Time flies by way too fast!!! I hope you are enjoying your boys still at home!

Old Navy Coupon!!

Wahoo...I don't know if I've ever been more excited about a coupon before! Lately, I've been following a lot of neat money-saving blogs to see if I could cut our grocery budget down from about $1,000 a month and I'm proud to say that I've done that this month and cut it down to $400...more than HALF! That's partially why I haven't posted blogs in a while because this definitely keeps me busy, but I guess is well worth it! I use to just clip a few coupons, head to the store, and be so excited when I'd save $15-20 in one trip. (If you're interested in knowing the money-saving blogs I follow, let me know and I'll forward them to you!) Anyways, OldNavyWeekly.com hides several coupons on there each week (usually reloads on Thursdays) and a big coupon on there is $75 off $100 purchase. I tried last week to get it and even stayed up til 2 a.m. trying, but no luck (I really enjoy the challenge:). Last night, I tried at 8 p.m. and found they reloaded...
