Twas the night before school

Twas the night before school
When all through the house
Not a creature was stirring
not even a mouse.

The backpacks were laid on the black bench with care,
In hopes that they will make it all the way to the care(silent e).

The children are resting with ready confetti in their beds
While visions of bologna, mustard and pickle sandwiches dance in their heads.

Let's hope there is no clatter tonight....not sure that I am ready to 'spring' from my bed.
Or for that matter I prefer to not see a jolly old elf just yet either. But in the spirit of it all...
Happy first day of school to all and to all a good night.

First day of school pics tomorrow. They have their clothes ready, have asked for pancakes, we read Oh the Places you will Go just like last year, sprinkled the Ready Confetti under their pillows now if only Reagan will go to sleep.
