Back to School

Today the children went back to school. They were SO excited to see their friends, meet their teachers and wear their new outfits. We have had such a crazy August trying to fit in all the vacations that we couldn't do when I was expecting in June and July. We just got back from Island Park on Monday and had 2 days to get school supplies and clothes so we all decided that a new outift and shoes would suffice.

Kenadee got some cute little green ballet flats and she found a matching shirt at another store. What a cutie! Brinlee found a super cute blouse/shirt that she just loves and she is sporting her new 'bob' haircut. Jake was over the moon when he found a SONIC THE HEDGEHOG shirt and his new Vans (gotta love Ross).

It was a bitter sweet day for me. I wasn't quite ready to have the kids go back to school after having such a short summer with them. But after the day we had yesterday trying to get ready for school, taking 4 kids to a mall etc I think I was ready for a day alone. It was hard to pry open my eyes when my alarm went off at 7am and I had just fed Bailee at 6am (and 3am and 12am) prior. So I'm spending my morning in bed, updating my blog and getting ready to take a quick nap when Bailee decides too.

Your kids look adorable. Oh, I miss those fun days when my kids were little. I love Kenadee's matching shoes and shirt. And I really like your front porch! It looks so welcoming.

I just hit a ton of stores today to do our back to school shopping and I was soooo disappointed at the selection for Clara's age. Thanks for reminding me to try ROSS! p.s. the kids look so good!

Your kids look so cute! I can't believe how big they are! What grades are they going into? Hope all is well....very cute pictures of Bailee!

Cute...cute...I never thought of Ross. I wouldn't buy Landon vans b/c they were too spendy, so we opted for airwalks and he doesn't know the difference....lol...
Landon's back to school outfit looks very similar to Jake's, with the plaid shorts and t-siort and skater shoes. Cute girls, too.

You look amazing! I can't believe that you just had a baby! I love, love, love the picture of you with your Mom, Sisters and baby girl. Oh, I wish I could hold baby Bailee.

Such cute kids! I hope they're liking school so far! It sounds like you're feeling well. I'm sure it's nice having some time to yourself for a change! Well, for at least some of the day, right?
