It’s back to school day today. We have crammed in a whole summer full of fun. I am going to miss these two little ones! I hope! everyone is having a great start to their school year and wanted to share with you a few pictures today!
I was a smart mom this year and we did all of our pictures the day before school so we could really focus on getting ready for our day without any interruptions. It also gave us a good practice run in our uniforms before the big day.
xo,
Amy

Thank you so much, Elizabeth!! I so appreciate it! I always think I will remember these things and I don’t. This was a great way to “lazy journal” our stage

Mary- I actually used PicMonkey.com (free). You can upload your photo, then click the “P” on the left-hand sidebar. That should open up text. I tried to take a photo with a lot of space on the side so I could add our facts. I hope that helps!!

Great pictures! My daughter starts 5th grade Monday. I can’t believe this is the last year of elementary school.

We have our last year of elementary this year (ours ends in fourth grade) so I totally understand! They grow up so quickly! Thank you so much for your comment, Jenny!

Thanks for the great idea to take pictures the day before – totally made my morning less stress free (even though my son was confused and kept asking when we were going to school – ha!). My one and only entered all day k5 this year.
