Life Wagon

Sadly, my blogging has continued to remain buckled in the backseat of my life wagon. Life...yeah...it's busy! The summer is winding down while wedding prep is in full swing! 59 days to go! Eeeek!

Yesterday I got Lane registered for school, which starts in just over a week. It is so hard to believe that I am a mom to a 1st grader! School clothes, socks, undershirts, supplies and shoes have all been purchased. His backpack is stocked, waiting for the day. Lane found his fully stocked backpack and proceeded to locate his new scissors... (ya know where this story is goin'?) I then found him in the bathroom, scissors in hand. Thank GOD I got to him before he did any damage! Thankfully all of his hair was intact, allowing my heart rate to return to normal.

This school year I am trying something different. I am packing his lunches instead of him getting it at school. I am having a hard time deciding what I should put in his box, as he isn't the most adventurous eater on the planet. I know he will quickly grow tired of PB&J. What do your kids love in their lunches?

On the wedding front, life consists of lists, lists and more lists. Once I get one done, another one is immediately started. I am so excited for the day to get here but am going bananas until then. I am so lucky though to have great family and friends to help me along the way! I have my first dress fitting on the 27th and am SO excited to see the dress come together. Both Dave and I can't wait to celebrate with our family and friends!

  1. I can't believe school is starting again already! :(

    My kiddos love hard boiled eggs, hummus wraps with turkey, cucumber and cream cheese sandwich bites and egg salad. I usually buy a lot of produce and then each week we make a "treat" so that they're excited for it. If I give them options they usually love helping me pack them. I think I'll also be packing lunches more than I did last year. My baby heads to K this year. So crazy how fast they grow up. :(

  2. hummus..never had it. Is it found in the natural section? I get nervous about may and cream cheese and all that stuff. I will definitely have to try some of these ideas!
