I need to get one for my little man soon. Mostly just cause he wants one, we're home schooling so he doesn't truly need one. But I figure it's good for car trips and travel anyway. :)annamaehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16776132817061834081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2604493001487428914.post-28574374424208132262009-08-28T08:04:42.623-07:002009-08-28T08:04:42.623-07:00Finn sounds like the sweetest boy, concerned about...Finn sounds like the sweetest boy, concerned about how Calvin would want a backpack! What are your secrets? I love the patches you sewed on. What a great idea! I am glad he had such a good first day of kindergarten. I hope the drop off and pick up time gets smoother and easier, the interference with naptime is NOT fun. When I tried preschool last year with Jonah, I just hated cutting Nathan's naps so we could go get Jonah. One of the many reasons we became preschool dropouts, LOL! You're doing a great job, Mama! You're in my thoughts. :)The house does seem so quiet when one of the munchkins are not there.Sunnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09517008925307826255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2604493001487428914.post-25941840304544447682009-08-27T19:25:33.295-07:002009-08-27T19:25:33.295-07:00Way to go, surprising your boys!

Enjoy it even though it is incredibly difficult to do that with three little ones you are dragging along. You won't believe how much Finn will blossom in just this one year. You've entered school days and there is no turning back now! :)Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17679083878476516694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2604493001487428914.post-33351400354802611022009-08-26T14:45:27.525-07:002009-08-26T14:45:27.525-07:00Sooo cute!!!

Can you believe that you have a kindergartener on your hands?? <br /><br />The backpacks are adorable-- what a great idea to make you ALL happy. :)<br /><br />Sounds like you all got off to a great start with formal education. I'll be praying for you all as you continue to adjust... I'll be honest, the dropping off and picking up sounds so tricky and I don't know how I would manage that! But you shall figure it out beautifully in good time, I'm sure. <br />Thanks for sharing this exciting day with us!Taliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10102909141360521814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2604493001487428914.post-55072981688369696302009-08-25T18:57:45.504-07:002009-08-25T18:57:45.504-07:00is it really time for kindergarten?!!!

I love how you described Finn- I can just picture his sweet personality and responsible demeanor. And you! You look great- hottest Mom there I'm sure. Glad you treated yourself to some sephora- how fun. There is some light at the end of the tunnel now for when my kids start school in oh, 4 years.

I'm already dreading that!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
