First Day of School

 We had a staggered start... first, C's first day of SECOND GRADE

Then, SJ's first day of KINDERGARTEN

Each year I let them choose a new dress for the first day of school.  This year they chose matching dresses.  Hot pink plus tie dye plus rhinestones.  Yikes, I may need to rethink this tradition.  :)

This is me spying on SJ going into class after I followed the bus to school.  :)

See ya' suckers... now I get Mommy all to myself!

Clara went to orchestra camp and got to play her violin with an orchestra for the first time.  Her favorite song was "When Johnny Comes Marching Home."
