Back To School

Last week my children started reg school. It was a very biggg deal because we have homeschooled and this year we needed a break and the oldest really wanted to try it out. Well kids are happy and It was the longest two days of my life. I kept looking at the clock waiting for my 8 year old 6 year old and 5 year old to come home. It was really tough on me but I made it through lol. I read a book to my kids called the Kissing Hand. The next day made hand cookies and a heart to go on top of the hand. the kids loved it. If you don't know this book you can find it at the library or Amazon or other book stores. It's a really sweet book.

The kissing hand cookies I made.

I came across this site that has some fun things you can do with your children with this book.

Oh and here is a cool idea to make a hanging frame as a gift. You can use Kiki's awesome kits to help with this one. Love this idea.
