I got to rock the tamborine for a couple of songs....THANKS CASS!!! woooo hoooo!!

First Day Back

So today is the first day back to school for 2008-2009!! Look at their faces....and they tell me they aren't excited for the first day!! You can't fake that kind of happy smile!! Check out nertz's hair!! Very bold move for me...wasn't sure I was brave enough...but I did, cuz it's not my hair and wouldn't I hate it if someone decided for me?? But I LOVE LOVE LOVE it!! Can't believe how blonde she became this summer!! They are all growing up waaaaay too fast!! eeeek!

Here's the messenger bag we've been working on. She saw one like it while we were school shopping, but it was waaaay over our budget for a school bag, so we thought we'd give it a shot. He's a japanamation character named domo....and she's loves him and is very pleased with how the bag turned out. We found a couple of domo notebooks in target, so she's got those packed inside too.
And here's nertz on the playground with her best buds....the boys told me to put the cam away when i tried to take pics...well the one at the middle school anyway...the oldest drives himself...

the year of the owls

Ok, so the owl is everywhere this year...and i'm totally diggin it!! pick up this little cutey last weekend for $4!!! LOVE IT!! <3
