We officially and tearfully have said our goodbyes to summer and geared up to say hello to a new school year. My little muffin children started back to school today. Logan is starting second grade and Landry begins her final year of Pre-K. As you are reading this, I am probably wiping away proud mommy tears.
It's back to schedules, routines, homework, early bedtimes and even earlier mornings. It's always a HUGE adjustment for us all, but I am looking forward to getting back into the swing of things and excited to see what this school year has in store for us all.
FRIDAY
We had school supply drop off night at Logan's school. We already love her because she is a fellow Texas State Bobcat. I will say, I am starting to feel OLD because this is the first time the teacher is YOUNGER than me. UGH.
Of course we had to fulfill our Mexican food fix after we finished at school. It's the only way to kick off the weekend in our house. And you can't eat Mexican food without a Texas martini or marg.
It's just not right.

SATURDAY
My girls and I did a little last minute shopping. This is what I wore. It's an old one from Forever 21 that I almost got rid of when I cleaned out my closet last weekend. We rekindled our relationship and happy for it.
The ceramic egg crate you see above is an Anthropologie knock-off from World Market for $5.99. These have been floating around the blog world for quite some time. They are perfect for organizing your small jewelry pieces. My studs and rings did a happy dance. Thanks, Landi, for telling me that World Market carried them!
SATURDAY CONTINUED
We hit up the pool for a neighborhood birthday and back to school celebration. Who can guess what we had for dinner? Hint...look at Landry's cheeks! Can we all say, "HOT MESS"? Yes, she is our Sparkle Monkey!
SUNDAY
We spent all Sunday as a family.
We started our day with church, then brunch, a small nap and then this...
Barbie Hair Extensions.
Ross took the reigns and helped the girls with their designs while I sat back and snapped up the pictures. I couldn't stop smiling as I listened to him suggest which hair pattens he thought were the cutest. I love this man!
Excuse the indecent Barbie that Landry is holding.
FYI, every single Barbie in our house looks like this. I give up.
I can't think of a better way send off the summer than with a family snow cone cheers!
So, sayonara dog days of summer.
It's been real and a whole lot of fun.
See you in 272 days!

It looks like you guys had such a great family weekend! And what a great way to end the summer! And obviously you can't go wrong with Barbie hair extensions :) Too funny. Have a great Monday!
I don't know if I am ready for early school days. My son starts pre-school this year and has to be there by 8:30. That is way too early for us. Real school is going to be killer!!!

Good luck with the back to school - what a lovely way to finish the holidays. We have another week left and despite the rain here in Belfast, we are squeezing in lots of great family stuff too. Have a great day, Avril x

World Market carries those egg crates?! Whaaaat! I'm going to have to go get one now ;) And happy first day of school!! I'm sure you'll be emotional today... but think of all the peace and quiet you'll have!
The South starts school early! In NJ they don't go back till after Labor Day and I don't consider summer to be over for quite a while after that. Those Barbie extensions are awesome...I would've loved them when I was little :)

I love that F21 look. Very cute. And y'all had an extra week of summer on this end. I love the school supply drop off night idea. It sounds less intimidating than Open House.

Summer really has just flown by this year! You all sent it off right tho, snow cones are the way to go, yum. :)
