this is the post where I share entirely too many back to school photos.
Yesterday was the first day. Today when I woke them up…they crawled out of bed and moaned…”no pictures today…promise!” We usually try to make the first day a family affair. Mr. P heads to work late so we can walk down the path as a family (stopping along the way for photos of course) and then see them off to school.
My wee bit pretending to be a big kid….I’m not buying it!
She had a super great morning. As soon as she got in the car she asked “Can you NOT walk me into school tomorrow?” Um…WHAT? I gave her a definitive “NO!” I mean…really kid…what if you get lost? What if you get trampled by those giant 5th graders…what if you miss me so much from the time you leave the car to entering your class you are overcome with grief? Her response…”Well at least stand someplace where no one can see you!”
Miss 2nd grade! She had a great day too…her only complaint…that they “get to the good learning” and stop talking about all the rules!
The obligatory family shots…me and my girls…Daddy and his girls…and little man even snuck in a few 
Ready for the big day (and REALLY tired of my camera at this point!)
Sorry for all the photos girls. Someday you’ll realize that I love you so much I just can’t help it (and you’ll do the same with your littles too). Forgive me?
Happy learning. Hope your days are filled with exploration, fun, and not too many rules
Super cute pics!!! Love the fun, bright colors, the MJ duds, the sweet smiles, the cool backpacks…YAY for back to school!
I don’t blame you for taking a lot of pictures, you have such a beautiful family. It still awes me how you can truly capture the story in your photos.
Wait, your kindergardener asked you not to walk her to class? Isn’t that supposed to be the age where they cling to your leg? I love that you told her no. Ha! I would have done the same thing!
Your kids are so darn cute!
Your kids are adorable—hope they had fabulous first days!!!! And, would you mind telling me what brand your girls’ shoes are???? I love the color and the fact that they look great with pants but will look cute with dresses as well
We need something like that here! Thank you 
Do my eyes deceive me, or did you finally find a messenger bag for A? Good work, super mom!
You always have been an over-achiever.
SO cute! these pictures are great. i’m always too rushed. must try to fix that this year.
i’m in total denial that our turn is coming in a couple of weeks.
we own all the clothes pictured on your kiddos….except for the girls’ shoes & they’re perfect for school! did you get them recently??
Oh please don’t give in! Those are the cutest back to school pictures I’ve seen all week!
Your family is beautiful! You have to share where you found the girls shoes! Very cute!
Love these! Super cute and memorable.
Found your blog through your sisters. We live in SC and have been in the process to adopt from Peru for 4 years now. Would love to find out where your precious daughter’s outfits are from and shoes, like everyone else!
