School starts back up in one week! I will be the first to admit that I am SO ready for it! Of course, I am torn emotionally because I will miss them yet, I can't get a darn thing done and I think we could all use some space from each other, KWIM. I will be sad that my 6 year-old daughter will be in school full-time though. It seems almost worse than sending them off for Kindergarten. It means that she won't be eating lunch with me or playing with the baby when I need a break. Gosh, they grow so stinkin' fast!
Anyhoo, enough of my rambling. I know all you cute Moms have some great ideas so this slacker Mom needs some cute ideas to make it special. Please share!

What do you to make the First Day of School special?

not sure what I will do - but when I was little, my mom would bake homemade bread and stew EVERY first day of school. I LOVED it. However, my boy thinks he's allergic to bread and doesn't like stew - soooooooooooo I need some ideas too. :)
donuts for breakfast ; ) not that my mom did that, but i think it sounds like a lovely idea.
When I was growing up, the day before the first day of school my mom would let us buy a new backpack of choice and then we would load all our new school supplies in it (with our names all over them!). Then we got a fathers blessing which I will always remember and always do with my own kids. Then we picked our "first day" outfit and hung it on the door (exciting for a girl who loves clothes!). The morning of the first day was a big feast with pancakes, eggs, TONS of breakfast with everyone together. Then we got a picture with our friends next to the bus. I have the same picture every year standing next to the bus.
Not super exciting but lots of memories!
