One On One

I decided to start a new tradition. At the beginning of each school year I'll take the school child & we'll go shopping for school clothes & supplies & spend the day together. Just the two of us. With the move hopefully happening this weekend I knew it was going to be a crazy next few weeks so Austin & I did our super-back-to-school-mommy-date on Friday. Of course Ruth came with us but she was fabulous as always. We had a super day together. Any time I spend one on one time with my kids it is always so great. We found some great deals, got all his school supplies, & back pack. He is now officially ready.

Austin is most excited to start school so he can make new friends & see his old ones from preschool.

He thought the mall was really cool, "It's like a city in here." His favorite store in the mall was "The Disney Store."

We ate dinner, played at "Toys R Us" (and got lots of Emma's bday shopping done!) & ended the night with a movie. Of course we didn't get home until after midnight but we had a great day together.

Knowing he's ready (& excited) makes it a slight bit easier to send him off in 29 days.

I've always made that a tradition too... we always shop, eat out, and try to see a movie in theaters. He will always remember that! Traditions are kids favorites. With love, Tiniel

This is Halloween Nite!
