The kids went back to school last week! Where did the summer go?! Since the school Carter and Makenna go to has every Friday off (which we absolutely love), school starts a bit early here. We are slowly adjusting to having a schedule again and tweaking the routine to make sure everything runs smoothly again. Other than being on a more strict sleep schedule, the adjustment to being back in school has been pretty smooth. I'm still getting used to the drive and trying to adjust my little girls nap schedule so I'm not always waking them up to do pickup.
The night before school started we got supplies organized, school bags packed and paperwork filled out:
Allen gave the 3 oldest kids fathers blessings:
We made fancy caramel apples to give to the teachers on the first day (and a few extra to have as an after school snack). This is for sure my new go-to BTS teacher gift - they were a big hit!:
On Monday morning the kids were up and ready bright and early. We had a fun breakfast, took pictures and were out the door.
Carter wouldn't even let me come to his classroom with him. I dropped Makenna in her classroom with her bags of supplies and asked her if she wanted me to stay. I thought there might be some tears but she bopped right in, found her friends and waved goodbye. Just like that they were settled into school. Sigh. When did they get so old and independent?! After school drop-off I got together with some girlfriends and went to breakfast. I was surprised at how EASY everything felt having only two kids with me!
After school we had a little visit from the Back-to-School fairy. She brought Harry Potter Legos for Carter and new dresses for the girls with matching dresses for their American Girl dolls. Everything was a big hit! For dinner the kids chose to eat at Red Robin for a little BTS celebration and we talked about their first day! Everything seemed to go off without a hitch and they both seem very happy in their classes.
Miss Addison starts preschool (!!!!) after Labor Day and I just can't believe she is already old enough to go. She is anxious to start and asks me every day when it will be her turn for school!
Here are my BTS decorations.
My jars have crayons, rulers, apples and wooden letter magnets in them.

(shhh... I just might be counting down the days until September when I can pull out my FALL home decor!!)

The caramel apples look delicious! You would be a dream parent in the classroom.
Everybody's lookin' great! So many fun BTS traditions at the Frost household! And seeing that jar of crayons just makes me happy...I love school supplies!
They are just too cute, and getting too big!
I love your BTS decor! I've been stumped with what to do until I can put out the Fall stuff... I'll have to copy you next year!
Carter and Makenna look beyond adorbale for their first day back to school - love all the new supplies too! School supplies give me a high! Your decorations are too cute!
Lovely all around! Happy back to school. Seeing this reminds that the other day - out of the blue - Connor again declared his plans to marry Makenna because she's "so pretty." :) He clearly has good taste.
Cute ideas!
Sheesh
I just got my BTS decorations up yesterday. Mine are a little more antiquey and appley than yours. Nonetheless, can't we wait until October to put up harvest and Halloween decorations?
