I'm so ready for this! (Much more than I was last year.) No tears today.
I'm looking forward to the fresh start and the structure that comes with the beginning of the school year. Waking up at 6 something everyday, on the other hand, is going to take some getting used to!
(Just for the record...these kids are as normal as can be. My son didn't want his photo taken at all, much less with his sister. His sister on the other hand wanted a photo of them hugging. You just gotta laugh....)
Yikes. Big week.
There may be a few tears before the week is through after all.
Time flies Amandajean! I remember your little (big) girl from when I just discovered your blog!
ReplyDeleteGreat looking kids, should be a wonderful day for all. LOL, not my picture with my LS.
ReplyDeleteSo cute. E. is so happy to be back in school. 3rd grade. I still got choked up taking her in yesterday!
ReplyDeleteOh I love the first day of school pictures. My kids are five years apart and I remember the last year my daughter was at home before starting school standing at the door sobbing while her brother left her behind.
ReplyDeleteSeems like only yesterday but it really was 1986 :0).
Time flies when you raising kids :0)
I hope you all have a terrific year!
Happy Sewing
I cried when mine started back last week.
ReplyDeleteHope you have a big turning 12 event.
Fun times! Hope everyone has a fabulous first week back to school.

Enjoy your alone time!! The first day, you'll probably be lost and wonder what you will do all day, but believe me, that will pass and from now on, you'll cherish every minute!
ReplyDeleteCrazy isn't it! Mine are grade 8 and 10 this year... just crazy!
ReplyDeleteI'm laughing at the hugging comment your daughter made. Funny.
ReplyDeleteI keep telling charlotte and levi to STOP GROWING! They just laugh at me. Can you imagine the cheekiness of that?? Your kids are so cute!
ReplyDeleteWow. Comparing last year's and this year's photos helps you realize how they're growing.
ReplyDeleteHappy back to school to all.
You must be glad to have a little peace back to your day! Gosh I can't get used to the US not wearing a school uniform! =D
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your alone time!
ReplyDeleteNice pictures of your children. Z. sure likes the monochromatic scheme!
ReplyDeleteI had my last "first day of school" yesterday as my younger daughter started her senior year. When did that happen?
ReplyDeleteOne word... ADORABLE!! I think my mom was always glad to be rid of us when school started again.
ReplyDeleteOh happy day! I hope the back to school blues are only denim.
ReplyDeletei just wrote on facebook about how much I miss the "first day of school" pictures & getting ready for back to school now that my kids are grown & gone. But a couple more years & my grandkids will be starting school. Man time goes way, way too quickly!
ReplyDeleteI feel your pain on the Middle School front! My oldest started High School this year! ...now I feel like we're on a count-down clock until he moves out. :(
ReplyDeleteI say HUG THEM even if they don't want to be hugged.... then they can't say nobody loves them. Love, it does the school day a whole lot of good. It is a mean world out there somedays. I love the tradition of first day of school pictures. They always complain but now my daughters have childen and the tradition continues. :) have a wonderful sew filled day!
ReplyDeleteThis post SO makes me laugh. We also had 'big brother little sister' pixs of the first day of school...all the way thru 12th grade. Looking back SOME of them are sweet, some have big brother grimacing with little sister hugging and some are just the two standing there. Precious memories!
ReplyDeleteLittle peanuts...they grow up so fast! My son is 27 and it feels like yesterday he was 12.
ReplyDeleteMy baby is 3.5. I need to look into a preschool for him but mommy is having a hard time. Time flies! Your kids are darling!
