My children resist clearing out their backpacks during the school year, but I insist that each backpack is emptied and washed at the end of the school year before we hang it on a hook to await the beginning of a new school year. Out of the keepable items that Hannah found were these:
They all belong to Mrs. Leinweber. Oh, except for the ones that belong to Mrs. Marrott (from 5th grade). Jacob also found two books in his backpack belonging to his 2nd grade teacher. Brings new meaning to the word "bookbag", right? No one can accuse my children of not being readers.
Now for the secret to my getting through a crazy week on very little sleep and working like a mad woman to paint, caulk, clean, stain, clear coat, etc. our basement in order to be ready for carpet tomorrow: ganache. I made some for the first time to top Drew's birthday cupcakes and I found the leftovers delectable straight out of my little tupperware container - gives me just what I need when I think there's not an ounce of strength left in me. And yes, I will be resuming my exercise regimen AFTER the carpet is intalled this weekend.
