There’s one part of my day that is the most fun for me… it’s that moment the boys walk through the door from school, they run off to play or grab a snack… and I unpack their backpacks. I LOVE seeing what treasures they’ve packed inside… day after day after day. William and Alex’s backpacks are always filled with their papers from school, and I love seeing what they’ve been working on and how they’re doing. They get so excited to tell me, “MOM! Did you see the star (or happy face) I got on that paper?” It’s adorable. My Ben and Henry’s backpacks are usually filled with artwork that they’ve done. Last week Henry came home with a paper filled with SpongeBob stickers and it was like gold to him. We immediately had to hang it on the wall of his bedroom. I just never know what I’m going to find, and I love that.

Yesterday William’s backpack was filled with papers that made me smile from ear-to-ear. I love when he brings home papers where he’s had to write about his likes or his life. I always love to see his answers. And his paper last night did not disappoint…

I personally love the Black Eyed Peas comment. Oh… and Bacon.
