First Day of School 2024

Happy Monday! I hope that everyone had a wonderful weekend. After my first full week back to work, and the first day of school on Friday, I was so thankful for a weekend filled with some preparation and organization, as well as plenty of downtime.

On Friday we sent our boy to Kindergarten for the very first time! He had a terrific day, and can't wait to go back.

Dustin, Jack and I were able to drop Sammy off for his first day, and I had the hardest time keeping it together. Thankfully I had 20 first graders to distract me shortly after getting him dropped off. 😉 He's getting so big, and it doesn't seem quite right that he's in school all day. I know that a tremendous amount of growth happens during this year, and I can't wait to see how much he learns.

Fun fact, MY precious Kindergarten teacher snapped this picture of us walking in. Even though I've got tears, I'm so thankful she took this picture of us.

Last year I asked Sammy 10 Questions as he started the school year, and I wanted to carry on the tradition this year.

1. What's your name? Sammy John Brisel

2. Who is in your family? Roo Roo, Mommy, Daddy, Sammy John and Jackson Nicholas

3. What do you want to be when you grow up? a diver

4. What do you think you'll learn in Kindergarten? I think I'll learn how to read.

5. What are you most excited for in Kindergarten? I think I will like lunchtime the best.

6. What is your favorite color? Blue

7. What is your favorite book to read? The Crayon Book (The Day the Crayons Quit)

8. What is your favorite animal? Elephants or penguins

9. What is your favorite thing to eat? Nutella Sandwiches

10. What is the most special thing about you? That I'm a good swimmer

We're praying for the best first year of grade school for our boy. XX

Friday Favorites [5-3-2024]

Yay! It's Friday and it's the month of MAY! Both of those things are very good things in my book. Today I'm linking up with Andrea and Erika to share some favorites from the week. On Monday I shared that we had a busy weekend! My mom and I hosted a Bridal Shower for my sweet cousin Caitlin, and then our new niece and nephew were baptized on Sunday. It was a fun (but tiring) way to spend the weekend! Jack especially loved all of the family time, and was happy to sneak in some giggles with Great Grandma before the shower began. 😉 We whipped up these Burrito Bowls for dinner one night this week, and it was a new favorite. It was such an easy meal that Dustin and I both loved! It's May, which means that it's time for me to read "Charlotte's Web" to my class. I read it every year during the month of May! This book has seen much better years - I think it's time for a new copy. Haha. The boys and I love to play in the basement...

Friday Favorites [9-6-2024]

I'm always happy to see Friday, but especially when the weather calls for... this gloriousness this weekend, I.Can't.Wait.! I'm linking up with Andrea and Erika to share some favorites from our busy, short week! These brothers get so excited to see each other everyday after school, it melts me! They were together at childcare last year, so it makes me think that they have to be missing each other this year. Brother time is always a favorite of mine. 😊 The chicken street taco kit from Costco is a favorite as well! This time of year it's important to get dinner on the table quickly and I love that this kit involves minimal clean-up. This little boy is determined to start walking. He's getting braver and braver by the day! There's a new flag football player in town. 😉 Sammy started flag football this week and I can't wait to watch him in action this fall! This is his "tough face." Haha. Sammy's lunches have been a favorite for sure....

Friday Favorites [8-9-2024]

It's Friday! I'm linking up with Andrea and Erika to share some favorites from my week. I don't even know HOW it happened, but this is my last official week of summer. Can you hear me crying from wherever you are? 😅 June passed slowly, but July and August flew. I know that I will blink and the upcoming week will be over. We've just been over here trying to soak in all that's left of summer. 😉 On August 6th, Dustin and I celebrated 8 years of marriage! We celebrated with our first date night in an entire calendar year. With Jack's allergies and Dustin's crazy work schedule, we find it so hard to get out just the two of us. It's a goal of ours to make it a priority this year! Sammy's Kindergarten backpack, lunchbox and thermos came and he couldn't have been more excited. We loaded up all of his supplies and he is ready. Me on the other hand? I need someone to come over here and hold me. Haha. Smiley boys at the park are ...
