(a wee bit of back-to-school clipart for you!)
It's hard to believe that in just two short weeks my girls will be going back to school. Where did the Summer go? The words "Back to School" never fail to make me nostalgic for my own school days ~ The crisp autumn air, that feeling of excitement mixed with trepidation, the smell of freshly sharpened pencils, and, being a child of the 70s, the pride in ownership of a shiny, new metal lunchbox. The lunchboxes may have changed, but some things remain constant, like the No. 2 pencil, the Pink Perl Eraser, and trying to trade your bag of orange slices to the kid with the bag of Cheetos.
For many parents and families, Back-To-School harkens the arrival of the End-of-Summer traditions. For my family, this means a big beach bonfire with friends, back-to-school shopping, and Mama-time manicures/pedicures with the girls the night before school starts. What are your traditions?

shoot...wish i had a back to school post to share. there are these cookies that my school used to make with cornflakes and peanut butter and they were chewy and peanut buttery and i loved them. perhaps i should try and devise a recipe!
Those powerballs are fabulous - we made them when you first posted the recipe. I did a (short and kind of lame} post and added the hop.
My favorite back to school memory is the first day of school was only a half day-(they wanted to break us in easy!) out by noon- so a group of us would always walk to a deli/cafe/or restaurant of choice and have lunch and catch up with each other. I was in the 4th grade when we started this tradition. We would also go to lunch all together the last day of school as well. As we got older the restaurants got better and better!!
