First Day of School

This week Laura started 6th grade and Karl started 3rd. Since they're seasoned veterans, they were very low-key about the whole event. Laura was very excited about the back-to-school carmel rolls, though!

And here they are in their non-new clothes, because they are way too cool to wear a new outfit for the first day. "I'm just wearing whatever I would wear any other day!" Laura told me when I asked if she knew what she wanted to wear. Ok. We do tend to just buy clothes throughout the year, so I skip a big shopping trip in fall. They just wear summer clothes for the first weeks anyway!

On that first day I met other moms in town for Bloody Marys to celebrate. Since the idea of drinking a Bloody Mary makes me sick to my stomach, I celebrated with Diet Coke. Woohoo!
