And just like that summer is over and we’re back with another year of school!

Our girls started 9th (high school…ahhh!), fifth, and third grade this year. And our sweet boy started pre-school. He was sooooo ready; me? Not so much!
We kicked off the new year with some of our typical “first day of school photos” and keeping up with our tradition we made sure to do our first day of school “interviews”.
It’s my favorite to look back on their answers each year and see how much they changed.

I’ve gotten asked so many times so I thought I’d share. You can get this adorable inflatable bus here!
“say yes to one more book, one more hug, one more kiss goodnight, tuck them in and snuggle them tight. one day you will tuck them in and they’ll be grown. they will smile and tell you they can do it on their own.”
