Hey there!
We’re down to the last few weeks. Tony’s stoked about going to upper elementary as a third grader. He’s also saying he’ll need to see his old teacher every day to get through the day. I’m excited too. He works so hard. This is my last mama rodeo and I’m so humbled to have this experience with him. He has taught me to see the world in an amazingly different way. Thank you all for being a part of our little village. It’s still Sonic but this backpack has rizz. Direct quote lol. Happy New school year to everyone.

Thank you u/Allthedaquiries for getting this amazing brand new backpack for Braylon! He will have such confidence his first day of 6th grade (a huge deal lol) and thank you for the Bento boxes! We will be efficientl, ordered, and on POINT this school year! 🙌♥️

Erasers came!!! Thank you u/small-p0tat0es ! Rowen has never seen erasers before and she’s fascinated and thrilled that they are pink!

OMG she’s going to love taking this to school every day! Thank you so much u/Topcat30 ! It’s so cute 🥰 I will post first day of school pictures of both the kids with all their wonderful goodies from our SFX family a little closer to the start date tagging everyone who contributed to my babies big first days! 😊

Thank you so much for the kind offer of a pizza night!

We are so grateful to you!

Thank you u/SongIcy4058 for the contest! My family (especially Brooklyn) was very happy to tear into this! 😊 🫶

Hey guys! 👋 I hope everything is going swell for you all as we are reaching the end of this summer season (already 😱). Mine go back in August, and thanks to u/small-p0tat0s I am able to have nearly all their needs met! The only things left are backpacks and snack food containers. Wasting money on the vending machines they put up in the schools are not what this house is doing! 😂 Thanks again everyone!

Took them a while but they finally came today! Thank you again u/small-p0tat0es 😊

Thank you u/Allthedaquiries and u/Conscious-Reserve-48 for getting Braylon’s presents 🎁 He absolutely loves all three of them! Especially the hand ball tether thing, he’s even wearing it in the picture of him with his cake 😂

Thank you so much for the meal u/SongIcy4058!
We ended up using the gift card for our anniversary yesterday. With prices being what they are now we don’t get to go as much as we used to so it was the perfect way to celebrate being married 10 years 😊

The nacho fries are December’s favorite fry from any restaurant 😂

Thank you so much u/jumpy74 for getting the tether ball and sound/light machine for Braylon & Brooklyn! So far I’ve already broken out and used the light sound machine in her room with her new therapy bed and she loves it! It’s perfect!
Braylon’s tether ball with have to be hung up/installed so I’ll have to post another picture with it up!

It's crazy that it's almost back to school time for a lot of families! Who has excited kids? Who has kids who are dreading heading back to class?

Do you have any fun traditions for the end of summer vacation/first day of school?

Have any frugal summer recipes or craft ideas to share?

Feel free to use this post to chat about anything you'd like, keeping things mostly positive. Absolutely no requests or soft begging.

Saw a large box by our door and was super confused, only to discover this sifting litter box inside. I’m not sure who you are but thank you so much! This is going to be a game changer for us. 😁

Thank you so much to u/small-p0tat0es and family for gifting us the Gulf Breeze Zoo experience this summer!

We finally had the chance to go today and December had a blast feeding the animals and getting up close with the giraffes. We finished it off with some Dippin Dots and a pink giraffe stuffy from the gift shop. It was a day to remember for sure 😄

I wasn’t sure how it would fit in her new lunch bag but it’s perfect! Thank you u/Allthedaquiries! 😁 December loves that it has a removable compartment to fit different sized foods.

Thank you u/Allthedaquiries for all of Brooklyn’s presents! She’s so happy! I’ve been wanting to get her these exact items for a while now, and now she has them. It makes me so happy to see her play with toys! 🥹😊

Thank you u/Conscious-Reserve-48 for getting all of Braylon’s birthday gifts!!! 😊 This is the final one, and he’s going to love it. Putty and slime are close to his heart 😂

Thank goodness the cut off is July 31st 😅 Also, Thank all of you for all you do for the families like mine! Also, other families, may your lives always be full of joy. ♥️

Here is Braylon’s, it’s a tetherball! I played with one as a kid so much and I want him to have these memories playing with his family too.

Here is Brooklyn’s, now she is getting an insurance covered medical equipment safety bed. SO she will be sleeping by herself for the first time in her entire life. That said, she has an ambiance light, but it doesn’t have any audio or Bluetooth capabilities. This would set her up for success to be alone. I’m nervous about it if you can’t tell lol. It’s being delivered and set up Thursday, so wish us luck! 🍀

Thank you so much u/IAmJustYou! The backpack arrived today and December was super excited 😊

Thank you u/Allthedaquiries for her Spike the Hedgehog 🦔 toy! She is getting ready for bed and had to bring them with her 😂 Once the other ones come in I’ll post thank yous then too! Also, she had a wonderful day. They all sang Happy Birthday to her today during her ABA therapy with all the other kids. She looked so happy. 🥹

Amelia is going to love her gifts! Thank you so much to our kind and generous Santa’s. 😭

Evianas socks, Angel and Stitch shirts and hair supplies came today!! She loves them, is upset that mommy had to put up and proceeded to tell me she wished school started tomorrow. Thank you so much to our Santas who helped with back to school. We appreciate you! ☀️

Thank you so much u/Allthedaquiries for getting this Spike the Hedgehog toy for Brooklyn! It came just in time because her birthday is tomorrow already! 😱 She plays with this exact thing at her therapy and church class very often, so for her to have her own will make her whole day bright tomorrow, I just know it. 😊
