Freshly sharpened pencils...

So I've always been a little nerdy when it comes to the first day of school. I love nothing more than new school clothes (fall clothes are the best) and school supplies. The more I think about it now, I think what I really like is the clean slate. A fresh start. And routine.

After the summer we had, I think we are all ready for the clean slate and routine. So, while it is sad to say goodbye to summer, play dates, neighborhood gatherings, and bonfires I am more than ready to welcome football games, hayrides, and EARLY BEDTIMES. Let's face it. I'm whooped!
