Well, it snuck up on us again — the first day of school dawned bright and early this morning, but all the girls faced up to it well, and with nary a gripe from anyone (even me!).
Outfitted in new clothes (and please note, matching shoes in the exact same size, which was their idea not mine), Maddie and Sophie felt ready to go, and even had time to spare to take some pictures in the backyard before we strolled down the street.
Sophie is a 2nd grader this year. It was her idea to pose in front of the sprinkler. I should have had Josie push her into it.
Doesn’t it look like she would do it if I asked? Poor Josie doesn’t start preschool until next week, so she was just along for the ride this morning.
And look out, Maddie has graduated to the “big kid” side of school as she starts 3rd grade. Here you can see that 1) making bunny ears in pictures is still funny when you are a 3rd grader, even when you have to do it to yourself, and 2) posing in front of sprinklers is just as attractive as it apparently is to 2nd graders.
What a threesome! And such great smiles to start out the year!
