As you come to him, the living Stone--rejected by men but chosen by God and precious to him--you also, like living stones, are being built into a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood, offering spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. 1 Peter 2: 4-5

Back to School Tradition

It has become a tradition...now for 12 years!...to go back to school, school supply shopping with Grandma. We met them in Conyers, went to Staples (oh so much better than Walmart!), got almost everything on the list, and then went for a yummy dinner at Red Lobster. I admit it...I'm a nerd...and school supply shopping just makes me happy. And don't let the faces of these children below fool you...they like it too. As soon as we got home, they dumped everything on the floor and started getting folders and notebooks ready. Two of them (ahem...Josh and Sarah) tried to pretend that they weren't excited about going back to school, but I think they secretly are. Maddy, on the other hand, didn't even try to hide her excitement, and her packed bookbag is already in the car to take on Tuesday!
What school supply list would be complete without a 3D stretchy book cover?

And what would school supplies be without a little chocolate ice cream? Hannah was a bit disappointed that she didn't have a bookbag to fill...so Daddy got her some chocolate ice cream. Hard to believe that next year, we'll be filling up her book bag to go to pre-K!!! (Maybe then I'll get to buy some crayons...not one crayon, pair of scissors, or glue stick in the bunch this year!)
