Getting Ready for School :(

This is our last full week before school starts back up. I KNOW! Isn't it insanely early? I feel like we should still have 1/2 the summer left, but we don't. The kids start back next Thursday (i.e. 1 week from today). We spent the morning at their school getting bus tags, purchasing a new skort for Moo and a new hat for Jack and buying school supplies (you just go to the school bookstore and tell them what grades you want and they are already packaged in a bag for you - 1 K and 1 Grade 2)! Nice (and $82 later)!

After that, we went to get Jack's hair cut. It turned out AWFUL! It was still long, totally uneven and the lady cut his sideburns into a point. Who does that? So we went to a different place straight from there and got his hair washed, then cut. It looks great and we won't be going back to the other place. We've been hanging out, having play dates, running errands and getting nails done. Oh, and tonight we made milkshakes as Jack's special treat for sitting through not just 1 but 2 different haircuts today. That's why we all have smiles on our faces in the bottom picture. Milkshakes make us happy :)

Wow -the end of summer vacation already. Jack's haircut sounded
"really weird". But I'm sure the milkshake made those 2 haircuts worth it. And the nails look great. Looks like orange strikes again! I bet Kylie is the one most excited about school starting so she can have Mommy all to herself again! Have a great year kids!
Love to all,
Mom (Mom)
XOXOXOXOXO

I kind of wish you'd taken a picture of Jack before the 2nd haircut :)

You are becoming quite the photographer, Kristen! The pics of the kids always come out so good and they are great at giving you much to photograph. Even though school is on the horizon, I know the kids have enjoyed the summer and we sure enjoyed having you all here. Can't wait to hear about all the new adventures in school. It was fun to talk to the kids last night. Love you all, Mom xoxo
