First Day of School

Today we officially started school again.

We started our day with:

opening up back to school presents (a hammer, a nail clipper, new t-shirt, a bendy book light, a new journal, and dye free cotton candy.)

We also had some outside time:

I did the back to school gifts because we don't really go back to school shopping. We buy clothes throughout the year as needed.

So they each got one new shirt for fun. The cotton candy was a special treat since we do no dyes they don't get to eat so many treats. The hammers are practical so they can do projects, especially around the house. The nail clippers are because they always take and lose mine, and they felt special having their own. The book lights were so they could stay up at night and read (as they like to do anyway) but without touching my emergency flashlights

Really these gifts were half for me to get them to leave my stuff alone. lol.
