Back to School - and that makes me CAUGHT UP!

So, in the spirit of posting OLD news - here's a few pics from the first day of school. We head back to school the Wednesday after Labor Day. This year that fell on the 9th, which seemed extra late. Still too soon for the kids, if you ask them. This was Carly's first day in Middle School and choosing the right outfit was ultra important. I think she chose well, don't you. Sure wish I looked as good in orange!
Aaron chose this manly number for his opening outfit to the new year. He's in 5th grade and the last kid at the elementary school - albeit at an entirely different campus, due to our school getting rebuilt. Not sure why we always get this goofy grin when he's on the spot to pose for the camera.
Only the Freshmen go to school the first day at the high school. Kenzie was happy to get to go a day after everyone else as she's a big 'ole sophomore this year. She promised me she wouldn't spend her life in sweatshirts again this year - lookin' good so far.
And this last pic is from 15 minutes ago. Kenzie and I had to run a couple errands, on the way home from the high school, so Carly let herself in. When we got home, no one was answering the doorbell, so when we unlocked the door and looked for Carly, here's what we found. The child can pass out anywhere and can sleep through anything. She still snoozing as I type - time to go wake her dead rearend up and get her on her homework, which I'm sure she has a pile of.
And I'm counting this blog officially up to date - mostly because these are the only 4 pics I've taken during the ENTIRE month of September. Yeah, that's how nuts it is around here. Brianna gets to come home for a quick weekend this weekend to receive a scholarship from the National Federation for the Blind of Washington. She'll be spending most of the weekend at their convention, but will get to sleep at home and we'll attend the banquet with her on Saturday - we're pretty darn excited to see her, even if it's for a little bit. And Thanksgiving's gonna be right around the corner - YIKES!! I need to get Christmas shopping...

I just want to push Carly off the couch!
