Yesterday was the last day of summer before schools starts.
I told the kids we could do whatever they wanted.
The days was THEIRS.
So we swam...
and then we bowled...
and went out to lunch...
then went to the arcade...
and won lots of tickets...(there is one game that Tessa almost always hits the jackpot on!)
and then swam some more...
I was exhausted.
But they had a fun day :)
*****
Today was the first day of school.
Caleb started 4th grade...
Jonah started 2nd grade... (not sure why this was the smile I got, he really was excited, I promise!)
and Tessa started 1st grade...
*****
A HUMONGOUS thank you to my Dad and Aunt Sharon
for spending the night and hanging out with Eden
so I could help take them all to school
without having to chase my firecracker around their classes!!!
And for folding and putting away the mound of clothes I had washed.
And for washing the sink full of dirty dishes.
And cleaning up the kitchen.
What a blessing to come home to :)

Hi! I just started following you. I am a mama to one sweet boy in Seattle, WA! I love your pictures!
Wow, what an awesome, busy last day of summer!
The first day of school pics are great. Our kids don't go back until Sept. 1st., so we've got a little more time.
Your children are adorable and it looks like you had a wonderful day with them.
May I borrow Dad and Aunt Sharon? :o) La
Great idea! Think I might have to try this! Great photos too!! Hope they had a great first day.
We are finishing our first week of school today. We had a GREAT first week! My oldest started 2nd grade and she loves it.
Hope everyone has a great first day!

Hi,
Just stopping by for the first time so thought I'd say hi! Your children are beautiful and it looks like you had a wonderful last day of summer! What great memories and what a great idea.
Glad their first day got off without a hitch.
this is a precious post! hope everyone is loving school!
Looks like the very BEST way to start a new school year! Fun, fun!
What a great day of fun. Wow your photos are amazing. In South Florida they don't start until this coming Tuesday. Have to go school supply shopping this weekend.
What a great "last day of summer" for them! I may have to borrow your idea with my "almost 2nd grader" as we still have a few weeks before school starts here in NY. I hope all of your little people have a great time back at school!
