It's that time!  With school starting, I wanted to keep up with what I did the past 2 years and do a Back-to-School Interview.  (last year's here.  and 2 years ago found here.)

She had a great first day.  She came home, in fact, and told me that she wished her teacher could teach her 5 days a week because she doesn't really have that much fun at home with me when I teacher her (Parker goes to a university-model school where she goes to school 2 days a week and we homeschool 2 days a week).  Aaahhhhhhh!

3 words that tell about me: hugging people and kissing them

This year in school- I hope to learn: math

and when I asked for one together….

Grace and I attempted our first day of pre-K while Parker was at school.  Right now we are doing Confessions of a Homeschooler's Letter of the Week.  I hope to write more about this soon!

Once we finished up morning lessons and lunch…we took a quick trip to Hobby Lobby and the library to check out 'A' books.

During Nolan's afternoon nap…we baked cupcakes!  Our back-to-school cupcakes.  And Grace just soaked it up.  She kept asking, "Do I get to do this?"  And this?"  It was so fun for her to be able to do it all and not take turns.

I opted to make mini cupcakes….and this is the way to go!  And dangerous.  Because you can just pop one whole mini cupcake in your mouth.  Again.  And again.  And again.  The deal is…it's the perfect ratio of cake to icing.  And it's SO good.  Between the 5 of us…we ate 22 out of 48 for dessert after dinner.  Wow.

And there you have it.  The first day.
