We are officially back to school and just like every other transition - it has been a whirlwind! But this year we sent off two of our kids back to school. I still can't believe our daughter is in kindergarten. The past five years felt like a blink.
But with just two kids now at home with me, it feels like a new season. Back to baby and toddler days - it is a sweet and special time. While I miss my older two, it is good to give my little ones more time and attention.
Our first day of school breakfast tradition has become a special sugary cereal and decorated table. I finally got these clear apple containers I have been wanting for our cereal. And a yellow gingham table cloth (as inspired by The Mama Notes). They came out so cute!

I got my sweet girl matching bracelets for us to wear. As Brent said, I think it was more for me than her! But she liked it!
After dinner on the first day we also celebrated with a "one smart cookie" treat!
Another school year is upon us and I am reminded to savor every day. It is hard to see my babies grow up but I am also reminded that they are becoming such sweet big kids as well. I can't turn back time but I can choose to be present and grateful for today.
