Memory Boxes

School is just two sleeps away. I can hardly believe it! I am still struggling to wrap my mind around the fact this milestone will change things as we know it. Of course school will bring many, many positive changes for the boys and us (and I really believe they are going to love it), I can't help but be a tiny bit (or a lot) sentimental about the loss of their "baby" days. Sniff, sniff.

The boys got to do a pretty special project today--they got to make school memory boxes with Puttentang!

Looking at his box and the stickers he gets to use for his box

I want something to go right there!

Jack even hung out with everyone

Selecting just the right sticker takes concentration, you know.

The finished products!

Thank you, Puttentang, for the special boxes! The boys were too cute while they admired their work during dinner. ("What do you think will go in their first, mom? I think it should be a pumpkin because then it will mean we will almost be at our birthday!" He was a little put off when I told him he still had a lot of sleeps before his birthday. He was also a little put off when I suggested that some of his schoolwork should go in the box. "Why mom? I think that stuff should stay at school." Sigh.)

It was unanimous that both boys thought making their boxes and playing with stickers were the best part of the day. :)
