Our First Annual School Starting Feast

I was looking for a fun 1st day of school tradition! And NIE NIE came through for me once again! So after my little shout out our new tradition starts with big "feast" to commemorate school starting! I decorated the house and made some REALLY neat vases for a few wild flowers, streamer and balloons! AND some homemade school themed place mats and name cards for each guest! The boys also had their own school tray to finish off the theme!

And to top it off the KING of the feast got his own crown!

I used pictures of school supplies and the school bus and then some of his favorite things like superman, and lightning mcqueen! On the front it said Super School Spencer! It turned out SO cute and he loved the chance to be have special crown with all his favorite things on it!

For dinner we had Steak Peanut Satay's, Grilled pineapple and corn on the cob, and mashed potatoes (Spencer's favorites)!

After dinner we had a fun silly string fight with Grandad and Jenise (our special quests)!

And then we came in for Spencer and BJ's first fathers blessing before school! It was really special, after BJ explained it to Spencer and we pryed Coop away from the chair Spencer jumped in and said his own little prayer as BJ was getting ready! (it was really cute)!! The blessing was beautiful and it helped all of us feel a little more ready! (by all of us I mean ME)

After bath time we had our SPECIAL pencil cake! OOOOOoooohhh! It was actually a weight watchers brownie (it only had the mix, beans and zucchini in it:) but the kids ate it up!

The clothes are all set out the back pack is by the door we are all ready for tomorrow! Lets get some sleep!
