First Day of School

This week Hannah and David went back to school. David began his junior year and Hannah is a sixth grader at Summit Middle School. Hannah, especially, was excited to transition to middle school. David, well I think the photos speak for themselves.




It wasn't a dress this year, which must say something all by itself. But she did shower before school, dried her hair and even borrowed my flat iron to control those beautiful waves. Why is it everyone believes that stick-straight hair is beautiful until they have kids of their own? That book in her hand was a prop of her own doing - like she was going to read on the bus the first day of school? Right!



This poor young man is simply miserable. He can't even get out the door without his mother nagging him to at least take a pen in his pocket and one notebook on the off chance a teacher actually passes out the class syllabus. He firmly believes that there is a law against first-day-of-school homework and that his imbecile mother has had her head stuck in the sand. I honestly don't know how I became so hideously out of touch with reality.



But at least he doesn't have to ride the bus anymore.
