First day of school!
The teachers, past and present, all got red apples in crocheted apple cozies (used to be a free pattern, I think, but now it's $3.50). I made a leaf-shaped miniature card wishing the teachers good luck, letting the new ones know I'm available to help and looking forward to the year with them, and reminding the old ones not to forget I'm still around.
This summer was the first one where I didn't feel like I needed a break from the kids, even though I'm with them 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. We went camping, hiked, visited relatives, crafted, swam, finished the summer reading program at two different libraries, picnicked at concerts in the park every week, sewed together, stayed up late every night and never worried about when to wake up in the morning. I already miss their sweet company.
But now, it's time to switch gears and get back into the school routine... packing lunches, doing homework, and the early-to-bed, early-to-rise thing. That last bit really isn't going to be easy!
Awww, these are sweet Michelle. Those teachers are so lucky to have you around... :)
