Yesterday was my kiddos first day of school. Kensington started Pre-K and Smith started another year of preschool. They were both excited but this mama was a little sad. I love having my kids home during the day. Even though they’re only in school a few days a week, I miss them. Next year, Kindergarten…and I’ll be a sobbing mess!
My sweet girl 🙂
I love this boy so much!
Off we went to school!
We pulled up at the same time as Erika and her kiddos. These four are growing up so fast! It just seems like yesterday that Erika and I were lamenting over not being able to get pregnant. My how things have changed :).
After school, we went to Party City to buy stuff for Kensington’s birthday parties (yes, she gets two this year…a friend party and a family party…we’ll see how this goes!). When I turned around, both kids had on hats :).
They had a great day at school and were super sweet while we ran two errands.
While at Target, I saw this. Seriously, the phrase “Praise the Lord” came out of my mouth. Pumpkin Spice, Vanilla Heat, and Spiced Latte were on the shelves. I bought all three…I’ll keep you posted on what I think!
And today, we have a winner for the Workout Mama’s online bootcamp!
Congratulations to Julie LoPiccolo!!

Hi Shay! I just loved loved your coffee post! I can't wait to get my first PSL of the season at Starbucks soon. I'm curious… If you go to Starbucks every day round noon, when do you eat lunch!? Or are you more of a coffee for lunch type of gal? My moms and grandmother are like that!
Mix and Match Mama says
No way! I'm a lunch for lunch kind of girl!! I eat lunch around 11:00.
Melissa says

Adorable kids!!
We moved to the dfw area last summer…on September 1st I pulled out my fall stuff and set my pumpkin out. My neighbors told me I was crazy and we don't do fall that early around here. I'm SO glad to see I'm not the only crazy one. I love your decorations.

Mix and Match Mama says
