Yep. Ready or not school has started. Nathan decided he wanted to learn how to write his name before he starts our co-op Kindergarten next week! So, here we are. He’s working on writing his name while I reorganize the recipe box that fell over… ugh…. I think I’ll need to rubberband it this time because this is the THIRD time I’ve had to reorganize this silly thing…
