Gotta to go back to school/ A bit of nostalgia

August 30, 2012 by

This week has brought out a huge change in many families across the great state of Texas- the commencement of school! Although my kids aren’t in public school, we started up homeschooling this week, and as I admitted here, they were actually supposed to start their co-op classes last week. Oops.
 
Anyway, this year I am teaching both Landon (2nd grade) and Allison (kindergarten). It has been a wild couple of days- it turns out coming home from vacation 36 hours before school started wasn’t such a great idea as far as exhaustion goes. (are my suitcases still packed? Don’t ask!) 
I had to show some first-day-of school pics though.

Our little guy on his first day of 2nd grade.

My Allie- this is the nostalgic part. Would you believe this is the outfit I wore on the first day of kindergarten– 27 years ago? My mom made it for me and I’m so glad she held onto it. It’s in great shape for such a “vintage” set of clothes! I need to get a pic of me in this outfit so I can compare!


She likes her new backpack. 🙂

    We don’t have any littles old enough for school yet, but we are planning to homeschool when our sweet little girl gets old enough! 7 months might be a little early! 😉 I love that you daughter wore the same outfit as you did on your first day of school! What an adorable outfit!!

    Thanks Tara! Well you will do well to plan ahead- we decided to homeschool one week before our first one started kindergarten! haha. It’s been hard but worth it.
