We set out her outfit the night before...
and took a few pictures outside...with a backpack of course...while we waited for the older kids to wake up. Because...older kids. : )
And one with her shadow just for fun.
Earlier in the morning, I snuck into the school room to set their surprises on their desks...Rhett collects Funko Pops from movies as well as superheroes and comic books too. Plus...I always get them a candle to burn while they work.
Peyton is my retro television girl! And I also got her a new scent in her favorite smelling lotion. Plus a fall scented candle. : )
And for my little lady...Cinderella Peg Dolls...Thank You talented people on Etsy...and a Cinderella book and shirt. : )
Then it was the annual First Day of School Picture!
Peyton...10th
Rhett...8th
Flynn...Kindergarten
Kirby...Mascot
We did some fun work to ease back into it. And my student was all about it! : )
After she and I were done, we made a surprise snack for the big kids...including Madison, who arrived home safely!
And thus it begins...another fun and exciting...not to mention cozy...new school year!.
What a precious first day! I love how great her handwriting is! I hope I can get Christopher excited about writing soon. :) I can just tell you're in for a wonderful school year.

ReplyDeleteWhat curriculum do you go with this year? We decided to go with K12 in our new state (just moved in a week ago) and are starting out new school year around the 27th. This is the first time I have ever used a state homeschool program and I'm really nervous about it. Any tips?
