Do you remember that line from "You've Got Mail" where he talks of sending a bouquet of freshly sharpened pencils? Well, that makes me smile. Hence, the opening picture. Matter of fact...I think I might put one out on my desk in a couple of weeks! I can almost smell it now...I bet you can too.
I also love shopping for back to school. The problem is, I love fall and winter clothes. I love cable sweaters and trousers. I love oxfords and corduroys. I love turtlenecks and trendy trenches. But...I live in the warm, coastal plains. We don't even put our flip flops away till November. I like fall to be fall. Crisp evenings and crunchy leaves. Here, we just don't cool off quickly enough for me. Oh well, I digress.
This school girl is ready to go back to school in a couple of weeks. I am ready for all things academic and seeing the faces of my little students. It will be very different to pack all my classes into two days, but I am super excited to get the best of both worlds. I still get to be teacher...and I get to spend most of the week with my babies. What more could I possibly ask for??
Well...maybe these? These booties make my heart melt. I think I could teach music in these shoes. I think they would be inspiring...

Don't they inspire you to want to learn all about composers and quarter notes?

We heart school supplies too. Fortunately, I get to give a lot of them away, and that satisfies most of the need to smell and touch and see all those new supplies. But office supply stores are a year-round weakness for me...the idea of being super-organized and color-coordinated is like a siren's call. Your family should try a trip to the Appalachians in the fall. It's got all the smells and sights your heart is wanting :-) Then you can enjoy wearing those flip flops all the way up to Thanksgiving!
