First Day of School

Every year the girls moan & groan because I take their photo on the first day of school. Actually it's not BECAUSE I take their pictures, more THE WAY I do it. When Lauren was little and started school I made a little sign on the computer and printed it out. It stated the date, year and which grade she was starting.
So, this year her sign read "August 26, 2009 Lauren's 1st day of 10th grade. Maybe it's kind of like trick or treating, where you think you're big enough you just don't need to do it anymore? I'm not sure, but they were less than pleased. More Lauren than Mira...Mira really still kind of likes it I think. I love it because you can see all the differences when you look back from year to year.

No, Lauren doen't attend night school....she has to leave quite early and the sun wasn't quite out yet!

This may seem dorky, but it's a tradition....just something THIS mom does and when they're handed down their School Days scrapbooks to share with THEIR children someday, they will be very glad I did!
