It's the first day of school today.  I can honestly say, it's bittersweet.  My baby is going into Grade 1.  Yes, today is his first full day at school.  Oh my, what will I do with myself?

My big boy is in Grade 5.  Where did the years go.  I remember like yesterday his first day of school.

So, this morning the panic was on.   Because no matter how organized I think I am (or tell everyone else I am) school mornings are always a panic.

Where's my belt?
These shoes don't fit!
I don't want shoe laces!
I don't want a turkey sandwich!
That's not my water bottle!
I wanted a new backpack, you said I could have a new backpack!!!!
You need to blow dry my hair so it looks like Justin Bieber
Does my hair still look like Justin Bieber?
Does my hair still look like Justin Bieber?
Does my hair still look like Justin Bieber?
Does my hair still look like Justin Bieber?

All this before 8am!

Oh what fun, good thing I took the day off to witness all the madness.

So,  what's a girl to do, with a house all to herself.  What can a girl do to unwind from the craziness of the first morning of school.  First, pour a cup of hot lusiousness!   Then, make donuts!  What better way to celebrate the first day of school, than with homemade donuts.

Hopefully, these will prevent any after school meltdowns!  Then I will try to come up with something for  the kids!
