After a manic 10 weeks of trips and camps and applying sunscreen, it’s back-to-school season at last! Moms and dads across the nation are celebrating by buying their kids new jeans and sneakers, finishing the dreaded school supply list, and dreaming of the coming fall days when everybody is back on an actual schedule.
And if you’re Jennifer Love Hewitt, you are apparently raiding the party decor aisle of your regional Target and going just slightly overboard with back-to-school baskets for your grade school kids.
Today, the 9-1-1 actor couldn’t hardly wait (see what I did there?) to get her kiddos in the school spirit and piled her cooking area island high with decorations and gift baskets for her two older kids, Autumn James, 8, and Atticus James, 7.
What you can see in the picture includes a number of banners, tissue paper pencils, a faux blackboard, and other celebratory decorations. And both kids have an identified basket for each of their new grades: first and 3rd.
While what’s in the baskets themselves is a mystery, one can assume there’s whatever they require for the year– perhaps some glue sticks, Fiskars scissors, crayons, and excellent old No. 2 pencils. But it’s simply a guess.
In addition to her 2 older kids getting on the huge yellow bus this September, Love Hewitt is also celebrating the first birthday of her 3rd child, Aidan James. She shares all three children with partner Brian Hallisay, who she fulfilled on the set of The Customer List.
It’s no secret that Love Hewitt is a self-proclaimed “vacation addict” or that the actor is completely obsessed with both fall and Halloween– it’s not a coincidence that her firstborn is called Fall. She begins posting Halloween and pumpkin spice memes around mid-summer and enjoys embellishing for big days. It’s not a surprise that she is wild about back-to-school, too, and shows it.
This is all likely related to her self-proclaimed (and hugely relatable) Target issue, which she likewise posted about on Insta recently.
While we don’t often, if ever, get to see photos of the notoriously personal Love Hewitt, it’s nice to get glances into what the kids experience maturing with their fall fanatic mom.
