I am shocked at the fact the last few weeks have sped by so quickly! 
To begin, I want to say a HUGE thank you to Mai Huynh, my first day of school blogger exchange friend!  Look at the sweet goodies that she sent:
I have already used one of the cards to write a note to my son's teacher thanking her for a great first day.  I am using a new color pen each day.  The colors make me so happy!
Please head over to Mai's blog, 
Diary of a Grumpy Teacher.  It is great!
If you have read any of my posts from earlier this summer, you may know that I decided to change my color scheme.  Here are some pictures showing the end results.
