With just a few weeks before Preschool starts I’m working on a To Do list for Thade and me too. We have a few things that need to get done, and a few fun things planned too. Here is what I hope to get accomplished before the first day of school.
- James and I are going school supply shopping with both of the kids
- Take a few “nature walks” to gather items for Show and Tell (everyday at school)
- Give Thade a hair cut, maybe Dylan too
- Get our “get out of the door on time” routine down. I’m so not a morning person, and Thade’s school starts at 8:15 a.m. (I think this one is a Mommy To Do)
- Have the freezer and pantry stocked with easy Breakfast Items (Mom To Do)
- Visit the park and look for Feathers at the Bird Exhibit
- Take a mini-vacation with the Kids, and get plenty of pictures
- Make a Leaf-book with Summer leaves for Thade, and one for Fall too
- Start a Binder for Thade’s Art Projects
I’m sure we’ll have more items to add to the list before school begins, I just hope that we can get it all done.

I love school supply shopping. I look forward to it every year 😀 .
Something I’ve done with both kids when they started school: have them draw a list of what we need (ex: they draw a pic of a gluestick, then write the number ‘3’ beside it to denote 3 gluesticks) and then we go shopping with that list. Of course, I keep my own list in my pocket in case I can’t decipher what they drew LOL. Then I have a really cute list to put in their archives to look back on when they’re older. Aw, I love school shopping!!!
Thanks Susan! What a great idea too! I’ve been looking for fun before school projects for Thade to do, and drawing a supply list sounds great 🙂
James and I are pretty excited about going school supply shopping too, and I know that Thade will have fun as well. I know I’ll get all teary eyed when we pack his backpack for school though 😉
