last day...first day


Today is the last day of summer. At least it is for the kids on my house.
Dominique, Isaiah and Elijah are all swimming their last afternoon away.
Madison has been bouncing around all over the place. Sam and Amaris got up way too early for church this morning so they are napping the afternoon away.
This afternoon Dominique is taking Isaiah and Elijah to the new Star Wars movie. Tonight we are going to the back to school prayer service at church. I love that we pray for our kids and anoint them before they even step one foot out our door. They will be completely covered for sure!
After church we are having Jimmy John's sandwiches instead of pizza.
The kids all have their first day of school outfits laid out, backpacks filled, and their traditional breakfasts ready to go. Lets see this years line up is:
Dominique yes even though he is going off to college I still let him pick whatever he wants for breakfast his first day, true to form...garbage pizza was his choice along with a grape soda.
Madison, toaster strudel and a milk shake. ack!
Isaiah, honey BBQ chicken and a chocolate milk shake
Elijah toast and a chocolate milk shake
Amaris raisin toast and milk
Samuel cheerios and milk
It is so funny to me that some of them don't take advantage of the "whatever you want" part of the deal. It is still fun though!
I will take pix and post about everything later!
Please pray for the kids they are a bit nervous and Lij always has a hard time going back to school after being home with his family all summer. He is a family boy.
I will be baking lots of cookies tomorrow for sure!
