I was playing with Samantha’s hair one day and made three braids and then braided the braids! She thought she needed to wear it to school like that!



Pretty cute!

Pretty cute!
The long weekend sure was nice but it’s back to school today!








Do I take her picture every morning? Pretty much! It’s hard not to when she’s this cute!

Make it a great week!
It’s Monday which means a new school week! Here’s some school day pics so far!





Still pretty excited about this loose tooth!


Alright Momma, that’s enough.

Obviously they’re all of Samantha. The only way I can get a pic of the boys is like this…


ha! Hoping for another great week and the very best school year yet!
Like the boys each year, Samantha did a summer reading challenge. The summer before 1st grade they all read 100 books! Maxwell read 100 books and Spencer read 100 books! The boys also had a summer reading challenge and could earn Vbucks for every book they read. They did ok…not our best summer of reading but that’s ok.
Samantha was a little slow to get started but then picked up speed at the end of summer. A big thanks to GJ for getting her going and finding some books online to read!

I’m so proud of this girl. First grade has been an adjustment. I just hope she knows how special and wonderful and brave she is! And very very smart!! 100 books! Her prize? LOLs of course! Two OMG dolls and two LOL dolls to be specific. She earned them!

Go Samantha go!
First day of school was Tuesday!! My crew was ready for a new year in 5th grade…

3rd grade…

and 1st grade!!

Love my crew…


They are wearing masks this year but will get to interact with their entire grade at recess, etc. Parents are even allowed in the school this year! Woohoo! Hopefully everyone will stay safe and healthy and we’ll have the best school year yet.

Everyone came home happy after the first day and gave it a thumbs up…

Let’s try that again!

There we go! Thumbs up all around! Here’s to a fantastic school year ahead!
