T TIME ON TUESDAY AND BACK TO SCHOOL

Hello and welcome to T Time on Tuesday!! I want to thank everyone first for all the Happy Birthday wishes last week, your visits made my YEAR!! It seems a lot of celebrating was going on thru the blogs last week, YAY !! I loved sharing mine and hubby's special days with you!!
 
I hope today's picture above is ok as my beverage picture, had to share this cute shot!! We have the tradition of getting ice cream the day before school starts along with meeting our new teachers and getting their schedules. It was extra awesome this year because some of the kids are starting the year in BRAND NEW SCHOOLS....YIPPEE!! I even want to go now, love all the new pretty and CLEAN desks, floors, bathrooms and more. What a lucky break they got to start at this time, my older girls missed out on it sadly and are stuck in the same old boring high school.
 
I had to babysit the little ones yesterday so they got to tag along for the tours and ice cream treat at the end. Love this picture, didn't realize Sienna was sticking out her tongue, too cute. Little Colt there in the back did GREAT with his, didn't drop it or waste time eating it up. He was the first done along with Sam and Sienna talked and played so much she was the last one done which she kept saying "how am I the last one done" and "wait a minute how did you all finish so fast"  it was so funny!!
I asked them what their favorite parts of summer was...
Renee....sleeping in when I didn't have to babysit
Summer....going to church camp 2x
Sam....going to church camp
Sienna...going to the fair
Colt....riding the cars and seeing old fashion cars on Tuesday's
Mine....having the kids home....SOC... Wildflower art class
 
I'm sad to see it come to and end already, it was our weirdest summer yet and so much we didn't do. My heart is nervous and excited for all of them right now, hoping today goes well for all of them. Loving my quiet house again and ready to start my to do list of chores today so I can play more the rest of the week. Hoping to post 3 weeks worth of Project Life tomorrow or Thursday.
 
Now for the back to school pictures this morning, they all got up and were ready plenty early, YAY!!
I'm sharing the pictures of the new schools too, was so fun to tour and check them out.
here's the new media room for the Middle school
Just realized the other pictures are on my cell phone which I haven't loaded yet, sorry will post them later for you. See the new chairs and carpet and computers everywhere.
here is my crew this morning, all sporting BLUE!!! They haven't been on the same time schedule in 4 years so it was nice to see them back together again.
here they were last time together, Renee was just starting middle school and Sam and Summer had one year of riding the bus together. Look how tiny they are, ok now I'm going to cry.
We went and got my niece who is also starting middle school with Sam. They walked half way together, so happy they have each other!!
 
Thanks for so much Elizabeth for this chance to share what's going on in our lives each Tuesday. To see or join in with us on Tuesday's visit Elizabeth blog. Have a great week everyone! HUGS!

  1. I love that you asked them all the favorite thing about summer. I'm going to have to remember to ask mine. My kids go back next Tuesday...it's always bittersweet. I do miss them but they are totally ready. They are in desperate need of some time part.
    Happy Tuesday!

  2. What a great post and I wish them all the best day ever. How exciting starting a new school. OMG I can't believe how different they look only 1 year later. They look so much more grown up. I would have said that photo was from a few years ago.
    Enjoy your to do list and a quiet house.
    love me :-)

  6. Thank you SO much for sharing this special time when the kids took center stage in your T tale this week. How lovely that they all dressed in blue. Siblings to the bitter end.

    I enjoyed the photo of the new school. I couldn't believe all those computers. How fortunate for you that you have such a forward thinking school.

    So glad you joined T today. Thanks, as always, and thanks for sharing with Tracey, too.

  17. Wow! Dawn such a awesome post! I can even see it as a gratitude post and now I want to do one like this. All the kids look happy and eager to go on their first day. Oh! look how much they have grown from the other picture. Wish we could stop time! They look very cute in that old photo.
    And at the same time I know how much you are loving your present quiet time. Make the most of it my friend and do all that you were waiting to do in the holidays.

  21. Hi Dawn,

    I am attempting to go round all the T for Tuesday and WOYWW commenters that I haven't caught up with for two weeks now, and I have a whole lot of catching up to do!

    I got all the ironing done last time but guess what - I have more!
    Your family are so cute, you will miss them, I miss my niece already though I was exhausted with her energy and going out days with her. The schools look great.
