We survived the broken wrist (he is doing just great) and the first day of school. It was chaotic as it always is but the kids are excited about the year starting. The weather today was cool and rainy...perfect back to school weather. It feels like autumn. For my part I have gotten over the lack of enthusiasm I had earlier and am excited for the year to begin also. They were so happy to get going. All the new supplies, clothes and shoes. A whole new start.
I was ridiculously excited about my new purchases for the school year. Packages of 24 sharpie markers in the most wonderful colors. One pack of thick, one pack of thin. Love 'em. Don't know why, I just do. I am going to be searching the house looking for things to label! I love this time of year. All the super folders, binders and other neat school supplies. I usually stock up on the essentials...colored paper clips and new binders. This year I bought an argyle binder. So fun.
Playtime is over. They are back in school...no more excuse to not get things done! With this lovely cool and rainy weather I am going to make Ina's Real Spaghetti and Meatballs for dinner. This is the perfect night for some good old fashioned comfort food.
LOVE the Sharpies! I got my own pack this year too!! Very fun!

I know what you mean about loving art supplies, office supplies and school supplies. I love them! I hoard them. Your sharpies sure look good.

I am so glad someone else loves Sharpies as much as I do. I asked for this rainbox assortment of Sharpies for Christmas and my mother in law thought I was crazy! SO awesome.
