After the treasures were all admired & photos and video taken the children repacked their backpacks, (their choice), for our annual "Walk to School". They walk with Daddy down the block & back and when they return I am waiting at the door to greet them & take pics. They love it!
Usually we make a special breakfast but Dave & I were too worn out this year. Instead we had the children eat an everyday breakfast before the festivities & chose to use the free meal coupons the girls had earned from the library & eat lunch at the Old Country Buffet. What a treat! Before lunch we did the regular first day stuff & passed out their new books, went over the schedule & rules, and started on some bookwork. We had a few rough spots but overall the day went very well & we have lots of pics & great memories!
Funny FacesThe kids goof around a bit while they wait for the treasure hunts to begin.

looks like fun! Just FYI I still have a hard time seeing the pictures clear with the pumpkins in the background and now the words are hard to read because of the background.
