| First day of school, 2011 |
On Sage's first day of school she was insistent about wearing the exact same shirt she wore to the first day of school last year and the year before. Same size even. Either Sage is not growing, or the shirt is growing, or I'm the biggest tightwad ever. I know I'm a tightwad (but not that tight). And shirts don't usually grow (or maybe that's just my third trimester perspective). As to Sage growing, I know there's no way she'd let me put darling little pigtails in like I did two years ago. (She plans to wear the same shirt to the first day of school next year, but with braids in her hair this time.) I just have to be glad she isn't wearing a back to school outfit like mine from the blessed year 1989 (think matching brown shorts and vest and big brown bangs over big glasses).
As for Eliza, she is thrilled to be in kindergarten.
And if you didn't know better, you might think she landed herself a spot in Miss Spider's kindergarten class.
And so Lily won't feel left out, I've enrolled her in a little alternative to preschool that I like to call Grocery Shopping 101, where she and I get to do all the grocery shopping (and other errands) together after we drop off the school girls, and we will NEVER take her older sisters with us again until next summer.
Happy Back to School 2011.

HA HA!! I think Adam is wearing the same Party Gecko shirt in at least two of his school pictures! And that is the best alternative to preschool ever. She can learn all sorts of things, like the exotic spices that exist, and what's a good price for chicken, and where all the sprinkles are.
Maybe the shirt was too big the first year, just a little to big the next year, and it fit just right this year. I bet next year's fit will be too tight.
I LOVE grocery shopping without the naughty, I mean, older kids. But now I have to shop by myself (I did last year too) and it's SO weird. I'm sure I look like a crazy person talking to myself about all the things I forgot to put on my list. Sometimes I think about getting Kade out of school early just to have a shopping buddy.
Sage's determination and goal-setting prods me to warn you to beware of purple headbands and such in the future (I think it's in the genes). Eliza looks so ready for school. And what fun time to spend with just sweet little Lily! (at least for a few months)

Hah! I just took Annie on our first solo grocery shop tutorial this morning - and it was heavenly. And I think I've been wearing the same shirt for the past three + years, and I don't look nearly as darling as Sage does...
Yeah for shopping with just one!
You Williams girls are Fantastic!
Wilson girls too:)
Love it!! You seriously have the most entertaining kids! Look at Eliza going to preschool! Fun post! BTW, how are you doing? How's the pregnancy? It''s about time for some pictures on you blog ;)
I really want a picture of the brown shorts and vest
Are you sure all these little Notre Dame babies are going to kindergarten this year. McKenna is ready but in my mind, all her little Notre Dame friends are still stuck as babies.
First days of school are great memories. I can't believe Sage's shirt though! Crazy! Maybe she'll still be wearing it on the first day of high school.
Errands with one child. Wow. That sounds heavenly!
