It's that time of year -

The summer went by too fast. We did lots of reading and some learning this summer, but we spent much more time hanging out at swim meets and t-ball games. But here it is, the end of August, and time to think about "back to school." Flower is in 5th grade this year (how that happened, I have no idea), Jelly Bean is in 3rd grade, and Super is in Kindergarten.

Flower and Jelly Bean. Based on pictures, it really looks like they get along really well. Trust me, it is an illusion. LOL

Flower. I swear her other lower leg is there somewhere.

Jelly Bean. This shirt is yet another piece of clothing that my friend Stacey talked me into getting on a shopping trip almost two years ago. The kids have really worn and worn those clothes.

Jelly Bean and her sister's hand

Sigh. I swear, he can smile.

I swear.

See I told you.

He doesn't have some unusual attachment for the tree, but it was a picture of him actually smiling, so I just went with it.
