I’ve been making lunch box notes for every school day since she was three. She went to Mother’s Day out twice a week, but now that she’ll be going five days a week, I’ve got to carve out some time to make one for everyday. I usually make the notes the morning before school, but I don’t think there will be time so I’ll have to make them in advance. I started photographing the notes but they piled up quickly and haven’t been able to shoot them individually yet (my plan is to compile a book of all the pictures, while the actually notes will stay in her keep sake box). You can see some notes here, but here are some of the notes from last year (click on the image to read the notes):
Today we collaborated on a little project. Much to the Woog’s delight, they will have ice cream in the cafeteria. So, I decided that she can get ice cream every Friday. I wanted to include a little ice cream cone in her lunch box on Fridays so she would know when she could get it. No note, no ice cream. So she picked out the colors and did some stamping on the ice cream while I put everything together and added more color. I then laminated it so I can reuse it for the entire year:
Tomorrow: Art for 7 days to go!
Well, we’re finally here. Nine days away from the first day of Kindergarten so to celebrate (and help us both get prepared & excited) we’re doing school themed art everyday until THE day! We haven’t nailed down exactly what we’ll do, but some days we’ll be on our own and others will work on a piece together.
