Meet the Teacher!

Ok, first of all... I'M KEEPING UP THE BLOG!!!!!!! I never do, and I am! I can't wait to print it out in two years for our family records!

Anyway, today was meet the teacher! I'm super excited to have enrolled Olivia in the Dual Language program! I have to say, I was skeptical especially because I switched Matthew from Hebron, and he wasn't going to benefit from the Spanish program, I simply moved him to keep both of them in the same school, but again, SO GLAD I DID! Olivia is blossoming and loves it now, and Matthew has the best teachers and low student ratio! Matthew had an amazing teacher last year, one that took time out to go see him during his belt testing in Karate last year. And Olivia's teachers are enthusiastic about the Spanish/ English program. Best of all? They have made some fantastic friends! 

Olivia was sad to go back to school, but the moment she saw her friends, she LIT up! She can't wait for school to begin!

This is Ms. Dillon, she was also her Kinder teacher, and will be her 1st grade teacher this year too!

This is Mrs. Edinger, she is her Spanish teacher this year, and new to the school. I almost think it looks like Olivia could be her kid! Lol!

Matthew has Mrs. Rodriguez, and she made this cute tags with pencils to welcome the kids. I thought that was cute!

Oh, I ordered school supplies from the school, it is be BEST! No shopping for us, and its delivered to the classroom on meet the teacher day!

Matthew liked Mrs. Rodriguez! He is happy to have her be his teacher!

Outside there are the apple trees the kids planted last year. They are BIG now! 

The school is creating a vegetable garden! I think its to use in their food! I love this school!

So excited for the next year! The kids are actually excited for Monday to come!

{Back To School} Prep!

Summer has officially left the building! And here we are, dusting off things to get back to school. This year, i decided to be "frugal" no real back to school shopping, just bought a couple of shirts and pants for Olivia and Matthew. By a couple of stuff, I mean 2 t-shirts and 2  jeans for Matthew and he tried on everything in his closet to ensure that it still fit, so he will have two days of brand new outfits, but that's it! Same for Olivia. I got her two cute shirts and long shorts, plus 1 skirt and two pairs of shoes... She is always a bit luckier because its easy to find cute things for girls, but again, no back to school wardrobe. With exceptions of shoes, since she needed shoes as she has outgrown all of hers. The only thing I did buy was lunch stuff. We are not the best of eaters, and I want to really turn a new leaf for the kids. I feel I have bad eating habits because I didn't' ever have limitations on food. And now, I struggle. Not wanting to do that for the kids, I decided to buy them better food containers. Last year we did OK, but they complained about soggy food, or cold food. So, I looked up some stuff online, and ideally I would have purchased Planetbox, but those lunchboxes are $60 bucks each!! Instead, I got  these two metal bento boxes ($25 each) which sounded WAY better and essentially do the same (Keep food hot or cold depending on the food temperture). I didn't buy a lunch bag for Olivia, instead she inherited the one I got from Nicole Barney's 31 party that I won. And i did buy a lunch box for Matthew, but I went to Ross for that one, and it was a whopping $4.99!

I love finding deals at Ross! I find the best stuff there!

Lastly, Matthew's backpack broke, so I went to Pottery Barn and purchased the ones that are on sale. I like the quality, and look but hate the price. But when I was in San Antonio, I used to go to the Pottery Barn outlet and they told me that at the end of June, they start getting new backpacks, and discount the older models, so I did that this year! Matthew's backpack was $25 and I added the monogram, and Olivia didn't need a backpack, but I saw this owl one, on sale for $19 so I went for it. And just like that, we are ready for another year!... I'm GETTING OLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
