Tis the night before SCHOOL!!

Its been a very busy day around here for me.. all to get one little boy off to school tomorrow!!

- He got a sweet suprise after dinner just to celebrate his big day tomorrow! ... We use any excuse we can to put a candle on a cake! -

Scott and I did a little shopping for Jackson. Time to get ready to pack lots of lunches.. 

We did our best to pick out some healthy options.. but they are not all healthy. We have to do it a little at a time! 

Here is a quick Lunch Box Food Haul!! 

I had a lot to get done today. I had the Back to School Part 2 that I wanted to get finished.. which took a while.. then I got busy on cleaning the house and doing laundry. I even got the kitchen mopped. I woke productive to say the least! 

I had to have dinner done by 7 tonight. Sounds about right but we haven't been eating that early around here. Most nights we are eating about 830.  That drastically changed tonight and now we are back to being on a much more strict schedule. 

Instead of a big back to school dinner, I decided on making 

Pulled pork sandwitches and tator tots. Its a double duty meal.. ( will show you what I mean tomorrow ) .. 

I think its better to set up a sweet back to school breakfast with sprinkle pancakes and sausage. 

In fact I got the sausage cooked tonight.

I cooked them while I was cleaning the kitchen and in the morning.. 

I can just warm them up in the microwave!! EASY! 

Everything for the sprinkle pancakes 

Is ready to go.. 

I got all his lunch ready except his sandwich.. 

Chips with a couple healthy crackers..

Small helping of cottage cheese

A little fruit.. - mandarin oranges

and a couple healthy chocolate chip cookies

Can't forget the sweet note! 

I think getting as much done as you can the night before saves a lot of stress in the morning. 

All I have to do is make his sandwich and put a drink in.. and done! 

I also got his name on everything and filled out his little personal identification card with his bus # on it just in case that will stay in his backpack. 

Everything is ready on the love seat to go!! 

Tomorrow morning will come soon, and we will be prepared!!! We are taking him in the mornings and letting him ride the bus home. He would ride the bus full time but I would rather us take him in the am. 

I have to be up at 7 - SHOCK - so I am going to try to get to sleep soon. I need at least 5 hours.. with maybe a nap! Its going to be strange not having him here with me. When we were saying his prayers tonight he told me that he's really going to miss me tomorrow. The feelings are mutual. ♥

Wishing you a great Monday!  Talk to ya bright and early!
