It was the First Day of School...

When began the days of racing out the door in the morning cool.

The obligatory "First Day of School Pictures" were shot;

And the empty oatmeal bowls were left in their spot.

The sound of Little Sojourners filled the house no mo';

As Mrs. Sojourner sat down with the Word and a cup o' joe.

Until Little Sojourner woke up from her beauty sleep;

And began to laugh, play, run and leap.

When her sisters returned that afternoon;

For Little and Mrs. Sojourner it was none too soon.

Thus began another school year;

But this year there was not one tear!


I am obviously NOT a poet, but it was a fun way to capture our first day of school!  Also, I finally tried a recipe (except I added dark chocolate chunks instead of nuts) to make with the pumpkin I prepared.  It turned out pretty tasty. 
Hope your first day of school was a good one too!

Kind regards,
