Lunch Box Notes Sept. 2016

I may have a good stock pile of lunch notes left from last year but with all 4 kiddos in school, I plan to go through them fast! And most of the ones left are rather generic so I want to get some more "fun" ones.

Here's a cute back to school one:

From HappinessisHomemade.net

Here's an example of some really cute ones babysavers.com compiled.I can't wait to use this one tomorrow!!!!

I had to dig around on Google to find some adorable Shopkins ones. Here's an example of one you can find when you Google "Shopkins Lunch Notes"

My girls are going to flip! I printed three copies... just in case ;)

And for the boys!!!

One of Mason's favorite kinds are ones he can show his friends and work on/ figure out. Last year I found some really cool optical illusion ones but I can't find any new ones so I went with some critical thinking ones. Here's some neat word puzzles I found:

Found from a Google Search. Couldn't pull up the website sadly

School Days= School Daze

I can't believe another school year has started!!! As of yesterday, I officially have all 4 kiddos in school. I've got a 5th grade (gasp!), 4th grader, 2nd grader, and Pre-k kiddo!

Every year I create these cool info list on each of the kiddos and yesterday I was comparing them to the very first time I did them, 3 years ago. What a change for each of the big kids!!!!

Happy

I'm generally a "glass half full" kind of gal on the outside. Within society, I find more peace in showing happiness, so most people just assume that I'm happy.

Though the truth is, I struggle with genuinely being happy.

I lied

You see, I'm not one to lie. I'm awful at it- I don't have the memory to remember what and how I lied which always screws me in the end. I've learned the hard way.

How sad is this: I remember the exact last time I flat out lied. It was June 2012. Wes was deployed and was nagging me about making a ring payment. Long story short, that morning I lied saying I had paid it. I had every intention on paying it that afternoon but I was hospitalized with preterm labor. So ba-bammm! I was caught.

I have yet to live it down- rightfully so, I guesssss.

So when I lied Monday and yesterday, I almost felt a little guilty. ALLLLMOST.
