September! The months just seem to be on fast-forward these days, and there's no slowing down. My ArtMuse has been doing a lot of workouts with Distress Inks lately, so much that I seem to have perpetually inked fingernails. It's all good, since I would like to get ahead as I don't want to drag everything back to Upstate NY with me. That's going to give me more time for Princess cuddles, and Pecan tickles! School has been in session for the older 2 Grandbabies here in Indiana for the past 3 weeks or so. Peanut not only had to get new "big boy" jeans, having grown out of the toddler sizes, he also got his first Tooth Fairy visit! Princess Pistachio not only insists on choosing her own dress code but must apply her "makeup" before going out the door. She is strictly a fashion-conscious Princess! Academically, Peanut and Princess are both good students (I get them in my Sunday School Class), but Peanut likes to be the Social Bee while Princess is totally focused on her work. This will be Peanut's last year for Preschool and Princess will more than likely be the Teacher then. Princesses are like that, lol!
Little Man Pecan was already in Daycare up in Red Wing, since he was just a couple of months old, but that got interrupted for the move to New York. He's been a stay-at-home-with-Mommy since January of this year and because his 3rd birthday is mid-November, it's likely he won't be starting Preschool until after the restart in January 2023. He'll be off and ready, having totally mastered puzzles of all kinds, and eager to see how things work. We've always been really blessed that our boys grew up with a love of books and stayed busy all through the year with accelerated reading programs. Our Grandbabies seem to have that same love for books. Yeah, there's the usual turn-2-pages-at-once-thing, just like most toddlers do, but the interest is absolutely there; especially if the book is about something they like! For the newest Grandbaby, Princess Rose... at this point, she's way more interested in simply sleeping... and eating, of course. Other than that, Preschool is a bit far off for now.
And the subject of school is what our latest Funkie Junkie Boutique Challenge is all about! It's time to get out the school stuff: books, alphabet letters, stencils, ephemera, stamps, glue, scissors, pencils, pens, markers, inks, whatever makes you think of learning or school! That all sounds kind of broad for a theme, but if you take a look on the Challenge Page, you'll find some great inspiration makes from Teri and the rest of the Design Team to help you get an idea for "Back to School"!
I'll help you get started...
