ready, set, RACE!!

Cole has been all about race cars and hot wheels, etc. So, I thought how fun would it be to make a little makeshift race track for him and his friends? And that's exactly what we did! Turned the tennis court into Cole's Speedway! The kids had so much fun taking turns racing in small groups or just cruising around. He had a great time! Here's a look around...

the kids wanted different color hair to represent their "car" color. loved it!

Cole was in charge of the sign.;)

we did Cole's favorites: pizza and pancakes!

I set up a little pancake bar as well as his breakfast favorites.

and then some pizza, breadsticks and sides.

happy 5, Cole!!

back to school.

I have loved sticking with the little tradition I started a while back, of having a little something for the kids to come home to their first day back to school. A place that celebrates an early morning, getting through the first day and all the nerves that can bring, and back to the routine. Just creating a place they can sit around and talk about their day over a little snack and treat. I hope they will always remember their first days as special ones.
