Well the first day of school came and went in a blur. As I waited for them to come home later that day, I felt a twinge of guilt for how things transpired. A hearty back-to-school breakfast? No, try a hastily poured bowl of cereal! Love notes in their lunch boxes? They were lucky to get a sandwich! The traditional first-day photos in the front yard with their new school duds? How about a quick kiss and a "Don't be late!".
Absolutely horrible, right?
So in my determination to make things right, I call an official:Do-over!
There were eggs...
toast...
and yes, even chocolate milk!
We had our front-yard photo shoot-when did they get so big?-and they carried lunches with not only love notes, but love bites in each of their sandwiches!
I am so grateful for wonderful kids who love their mama despite her shortcomings. What a blessing they are to me.

Hey they will probably remember the do-over more than they would if you had just done it on the first day...you created a fun memory!
Gosh Olivia, your too nice! Those kids are totally blessed to have you as their mommy!
you're a good mom Olivia! Your family is lucky to have you!
Please tell me, what's a love bite? Sounds delish!
Love bites are when you take a small bite out of their sandwich. My kids get a kick out of seeing that tiny bit missing and know immediately that it's mom's doing!
