The arrival of September brings the arrival of school and today was the day chosen to head to the city and pick up some of the last minute things that the children need for school.
We began the morning by hitting up the elementary school to grab the school supplies kits that we had ordered for Fin and Ollie, and check out their new classrooms. They confidently know their way around the school now, which means I don't need to make a special drive in for the first day.
We were able to get in a stop or two in the city before everyone started getting hungry for lunch! The children are pretty good about helping out when all of us head into a restaurant. They order for themselves in the lineup, and then find themselves a booth or tables to gather at while I pay and wait for the food. The big kids are able to help fill drinks and entertain the littles. While it sometimes can be hectic, moments like this one pictured fill my heart. Sawyer was having an especially hard time with the seating arrangements (and being surrounded by ketchup, he hates the smell of ketchup), so Hyrum suggested they move across to this table for two. Hyrum sweetly opened his burger for him, helped him with his toy, and chatted with him while they ate. It was such a huge help!
When we arrived home I was happy to find my package for the baby arrived in the mail. New, cozy sleepers with fold over mittens! I'll be tucking them away for a few months, but I've been slowly gathering things we need before January.
