I thought it would be fun to spruce up the table with traditional school items. Lulu said it was the best party ever.
School is viewed, quite often, as this arduous task. It seems to me that as kids age, they are less inclined to enjoy the daily rigors of attending school, completing homework, tests, etc.. It doesn't help that it comes immediately after a long summer of play dates, pool parties, travels, and (at least for us) total time/schedule abandonment.
I like the idea of celebrating the beginning of school on such a positive note. Even though it means we aren't as free, it is so much more rewarding than sleeping a little too late or having nothing but lazy days. I often think about how summertime is this delicious treat after a long year of hard work. It has its perks, but by the end of it, I'm craving order.

Love the table. (Are those chopsticks?) Cute little 1st graders.
Very cute idea. I loved the video but got a little seaick in parts. Can't believe how big she is getting. How many days is Teddy going to do?
glad to see that your back at blogspot.com. love the table/dinner that you had.
1. Love your back to school dinner. I totally need to do that.
2. How in the world can Ted be old enough to go to school??
3. I had NO idea you were going through chemo. My word, lady. I love that you could think of things you would miss about chemo treatments. (Alone time would top my list.)
I always enjoy the return of order even when I think I'm sad to see the summer come to an end. I tend to think of the school year as our "real life" so I enjoy it.
