As has been my tradition for the last few years, I have prepared schultüte for the children’s first day of school tomorrow.

I included standards like crayons and glue, some new pencils, including a few in fun colors, tape, which is always very popular with the children, a Star Wars puzzle eraser, stickers, and some Kit Kat bars. I was a little disappointed that I didn’t have pins to include this year…I had planned to get some at Turner Field when we were on vacation, as a kind of souvenir for them, but sadly, the Braves don’t seem to be into the pins the way our Cardinals are. So I just put in some sticker sheets instead…I hope my children aren’t too old and cool to enjoy them!
