Oh hey!

Heh Heh.  Didn't REALLY forget about my blog.  Just took an unplanned, unintentional little break.  That's all!

Anyhow, so to get caught up...  how are you?  And the kids?  Uh huh... yeah, me too!  :)

So, what happens every August, without fail?  That's right.  BACK TO SCHOOL!

I can barely believe that my kids are in 5th and 4th grades this year!  They both moved to new schools this year (not the same as each other), and both are loving it as much now as they did the first day.

So, yeah, the first day...  wanna see?

You know you do!

Okay, since you begged.

Aren't they gorgeous? 

Then after school, we continued our annual tradition of going out for ice cream to discuss the ups & downs, ins & outs of the first day.

Then, like almost every year, our cousins met us for the ice cream to discuss the ups & downs, ins & outs of THEIR first day of school, too!

(obviously MUCH to discuss here, huh?!)
