School's Back

Can you hear the school bus coming down the hill? I loved when school would start, NO not the going to school part but the buying of new clothes, shoes. Ya Clothes and Shoes, that was my favorite part and to this day I still loving buying school clothes even though they aren't for me. I love putting outfits together, the rush of sales and choosing the first day back to school outfit.


It is amazing how fast time goes by when your older, I think back at all the years I walked down to the bus stop in the SUN, COLD, RAIN and SNOW. Where did that time go? Now I have two, count them two boys in school. Taysen 4th grade (which still blows my mind), Braxtin 2nd grade (which is even stranger), how did they get big so fast. WHY? Tristan and Saebryn are growing up fast too. Tristan is almost 4 and I don't get that one, Saebryn just turned 8 months. I know they have to grow, I know they will all eventually go to school(which isn't so sad- all day school-right MOM). But I just get sad when they grow up so quickly. I still remember when Taysen started school I was so nervous for him, being away from Mom, Dad, Grandma all day. Would he be able to handle it, would he find his way to the right bus. Oh the stress we cause ourselves as Mothers, it's with every child not just your first. The same emotions every year, will they like their teacher, will they do good in READING, MATH, whatever it will be. They always come home fine and tell you how the day went with excitement. We started with a family tradition with Taysen when he started school, the night before school starts Devin gives them a Father's Blessing to help easy their nerves and calm them. It has been a blessing and I truly feel that their day goes better because of it.

I can't wait to see the trends that my kids will have in school. No cabbage patches, No big HAIR you know the bangs that go from one side of you head to the other, PERMS, two different colored socks scrunched down, REEBOK pump air shoes, GUABUI's, Like GUESS jeans will ever be as hot as they once where, even better I think I went through some weird phase in High School of Plain Tee shirts and Vans, Must of been a Grunge thing.
