School days, school days...

New school shoes-

note those huge pink shoes that belong to the princess who is starting preschool

New backpacks

New school supplies

We are ready for school because - ready or not - it is here! I had my first "fall term" class last night (even though it is technically still summer with a heat index of 120 I think...haha) and I have already worked on my first assignment for that class. Daddy has decided to try out this teaching thing and is pretty pumped about it! So he is looking at lesson plans and preparing a syllabus and trying to mentally prepare for his first day, while the kids are physically prepared with new shoes, backpacks and school supplies. Don't you just love dragging three wild kids out on a hot august day to try to fit them with shoes and clothes and search high and low to find just the right backpack? It is one of the most enjoyable parenting pleasures, right???
