For most of you reading, this may not seem like it's coming too late. But my kids have been in school since the end of July so I'm playing catch up.
Alexia is in the 4th grade now with Mr. Cederstrom as a teacher.
Parker is in 2nd grade with Ms. Mortensen - who was Alexia's 2nd grade teacher as well.
I was a good mom who walked her kids to school that day. It was nice outside with clouds and a slight breeze. So after dropping the bigs at school, the littles and I headed to the park, where we lasted about 15 minutes.
Spencer really liked the swing (his first time at the park) and it was funny watching him watch Elijah.
"Momma...why you always got that big black thing poking out from your face?" I'm pretty sure that's what he was thinking in that moment.
Oh...there's the smile. It's never very far from those chubby cheekies.
And this boy...well I was queen for the day because I took him to the park. That's always nice.
Good gravy. Why does Elijah always look like an orphan? I swear, between my letting him dress himself, all the bumps, scrapes, and bruises that come from being a boy who plays hard, and needing a haircut, most days this boy looks homeless. Who is his mother? Poor baby has to wear his big brother's old clothes. He's a bean pole compared to what Parker was at his age and everything seems to hang off the boy.
See what I mean? If I tugged just right those shorts would be at his ankles. And lets take a minute and not check out the little boy behind him with the gel in his hair and matching, well fitted clothing on. Darn little over achiever. :)

I know all about the catching up. Happy Birthday Spencer!! I can't remember which day exactly but I know it is really close. I miss you guys!! I have a couple orphan kids too I've tried to be better at fixing Briana's hair everyday now that she is in school!
Eh, life's too short to make sure kids look perfect all the time. If you put them in nice clothes, you've wasted more money when they get ruined. If you spent time on their hair, it's wasted time when it's a crazy mess 30 minutes later. At least that's my theory to justify why my kids aren't the stylin' ones. :)
So cute! I just love those turkeys. At least Elijah has clothes on.
Heidi you are so silly. I love you to death. They all look so cute. Do you remember what we used to wear. I have a picture of me in a orange shirt with bright pink poka-dots and hunter green SWEATS. Let's not even get started on the hair. And look how normal we all turned out.;) He will be just fine.
Ok, I can't believe how much taller Alexia is than Parker. - and Parker has seemed so tall to me lately. Maybe Parker has grown a bunch just since school started in July!??
And for the record, I've never thought Lije looked like an orphan! I love his hair with that awesome curl & texture!
