We survived the first week of school! Yeah, so, it was only four days, but it was four LONG days. In case you missed it, I’m giving away coffee (go! enter!) this week, and I reviewed a great new album from two of members of the Dixie Chicks. Oh, and I shared how (and with what) I pack school lunches for the entire week ahead of time.

The girls were trying on Ivy’s new school clothes (specifically, her knee socks), and Essie put on her hand-me-down Cons and “tied” them. (swoon)

Meet the Teacher Night for the first and second grader. Henry’s class is so much bigger than Ivy’s that he actually has the same teacher AND same classroom that he did last year.

The first day of school (at least, for the big two)! I took the little two grocery shopping and school was only had a half day, so those few hours positively FLEW by.

Little dude woke up ENTIRELY too early on Wednesday, so he was unbearably pleasant all morning (where’s sarcasm font when I need it?). It was a beautiful day, though, so even though these two fought most of the time, they got to play outside.

It was actually chilly Thursday (in August! in Kansas!). But there was more playing outside, because, you know…jackets.

Just another typical school morning around here.

Then hubs got home from his entirely-too-long work trip and promptly gave Erv a hair cut.
