First Day of School

Today all 5 of my children went to school today. It was a day.  Many of them had a wonderful day.  As for me, my day started with a dropped cell phone (screen looks like a spider web!) and ended with 5 stitches (pictures below.)  Today got two thumbs down.  It makes me sad that some of my kids had a crummy start to this year.  The best thing about tomorrow is that it won't be today.

Calvin - 6th, Simon - 4th, Annie - 2nd, and Owen - Kinder, at Muir Elementary School.  We talked Simon out of the Hawaiian shirt, but think the kilt, sporran and basketball high tops went nicely.

Owen's first day of big-boy school, pictured with his great pal, Cedric.  Peas and Carrots.  

Preston snuck out of the house before the camera emerged, but he also went to school today.  Hello to 9th grade for him!

Here come the stitches.  

Weapon of choice: butter knife. Task: cutting through cardboard.

5 stitches. Too bad it isn't close to Halloween.

Lindsey out.
