shopping for school supplies and clothes
I had no clue there was a take your parents to lunch day. What a fun idea.
And your granddaughter is adorable.
I love that my kids are learning when they go back to school and as much as I love them, I don’t have to worry for a few hours a day about where they are while I’m working.
I like turning the tv off and having nothing but silence all day! Your granddaughter is adorable!
OMG how ADORABLE is she!?! She gets my vote!!
Take your parent’s to lunch?! I LOVE that! It would be an unexpected treat for my parents, am I right?!

Super cool!! what a great contest!
The part where… they go back to school! Lol!
Your granddaughter is absolutely adorable 🙂
I like the quiet best.
the house stays clean
By the end of summer, my son is bored. There is nothing to do. He misses his friends and we are both eager for school to start.
I like getting back into a routine.
I like how much money we save not having to pay for camps
I don’t know if I like anything about it…school for me is more expensive than camp and the kids don’t get busing like they do for camp
Quiet time!
I like that they are busier with their friends and with school programs, but honestly I love it when they are home too.
With having four kids home with me during the Summer, trying to run errands such as going to the grocery store or just plain old shopping is horrible. I’m looking forward to my quiet time again 🙂
It is nice to have that constant of down time though it is great to see them when them cone back.
I am looking forward to having my own schedule back without waiting for someone to get up and get ready just for me to go run some errands.
Having the granddaughters back into a routine and learning something new and special
I love all the hustle and bustle at school when all the kids return. 🙂
More free time to spend with my girlfriend!
I like when my daughter goes back to school because I like her having a consistent schedule that keeps her focused.
I love having my son on a daily schedule, it helps him and he is able to function better at home
time to get my errands done and work without interruption!
The best thing about the kids going back to school is that I don’t have to keep them entertained all day ;).
The best thing about the kids going back to school is that when they come after school
The best thing about the kids going back to school is that it gives me a bit of down time. Everyone needs a little time in their day when they can relax.

All of the new stuff – supplies, clothes, etc.
The best part is getting a little bit of “me time.”
I like getting back into more of a scheduled routine. My kids are teens and during they summer, they would sleep all day and stay up all night if we let them.

I love the projects, most parents dread the extra activities that require parent involvement…but I love them!

I will like going on extra long walks which my kids can’t really handle.
What I like best about the kids going back to school is that the house is not ALWAYS messy, and it’s silent and peaceful.
I actually miss summer and my children when they return to school every year.
But I do enjoy some amount of me time. and being able to get my errands ran quicker.

they don’t like going back to school, but i like it because it gives them the learning and stability they need in their future

i LIKE THE KIDS GOING BACK TO SCHOOL BECAUSE THE ROUTINE HELPS THEM STAY FOCUSED
I like that the kids have homework and books to occupy some of their spare time and that their natural curiosity comes out as they learn throughout the school year. The kids enjoy getting new shoes and meeting their new teacher.
A quiet house
Learning new things
I like the free time that I have in the day while they are at school.
We homeschool – but I’m glad the other kids go back to school so we can start visiting museums/pools/playgrounds again without the crowds 🙂
The thing I like best about my boys going back to school is when they start bringing home their art projects and stories of things they’ve learned and new friends they’ve made 🙂
I love how excited they get about going to school!
I like that she is happy to go back to school.
You can get things done during the day, run errands etc. Some days you’d like to have them home but it makes some days easier when they’re at school. Love seeing what they’re learning, what they bring home with them and to hear them talk about their day too.
I like that they are no longer whining about being bored!
They have something constructive to do
I love the peace and quiet!!

I like the quiet and not having to cook as much!!!
It is easier for them to have a routine.
Great ideas
I like that they are excited to share with me what they made or learned that day at school.
I think it is always nice to get back into a schedule, and for my kids to be excited to see their friends and be ready to learn.
I really don’t “like” for them to go back to school, but I guess what I like best, is when they come home. My youngest is a Sr and oldest is 30. I think this is the 1st year I haven’t cried when they went to school. (Do I sound sappy?)
The peace and quiet the first day I have the house to myself again brings

I always loved sharing how they got along on their days- what they learned – what they had to do – what happened to who etc 🙂 Always created some good bonding times for chatting 🙂
I like that they are having fun hanging out with friends at school.
They get to see the friends they missed during the summer
