My daughter started Kindergarten last week and my son is now in second grade, so things are definitely changing around our house.  Lots of peace, quiet and work getting done, which is definitely not always the norm!

Here’s one of my favorite shots of my kids – whispering to each other outside their elementary school on the first day back.  Big brother has been walking little sister to her kindergarten class every day so far.  Cute just does not describe it…

Hope your kiddos have had a great first week or two of school!   Stay tuned for exciting Chalkydoodles news for the Fall, including lots of new products, some great sales heading your way and our Holiday 2010 preview!
