If I was really good and organized I could post a picture of my babies' very first 'First Day of School' pictures side by side with this one for an AAAWWWwwwwww moment - but we all know I'm not organized! So I will just have to have an AAAWWWwwwwww moment strictly on the fact that I have one who will never again be posing by the front door for her first day of school, and one that is supposed to be my baby who is off to HIGH SCHOOL.
Ben felt the need to do a girly pose! Quite the ham as always.
The big difference this year is nobody needs a parent to take them to school. Seems a little sad now but I'm sure it will seem like a good thing in a matter of days.
So it begins! I would like to think that they will hop right up and get going every morning this year - but I'm an old pro and I know first day adrenaline when I see it. Good thing we don't have to document ALL the school mornings!
I will admit that even I started to doubt the wisdom of taking 5 teenagers to a 3 bedroom condo for a week of vacation. But miracle of miracles - we all actually coexisted in peace.
I still love Surfside Beach. I guess it's in my blood. We had a good week - some days were overcast - so we managed to spend a lot of time on the beach without becoming lobsters!
The boys are at a stage where they cannot take a picture without doing something goofy or striking a "sears catalog male model" pose. So I gave up on cute pictures.
The girls on the other hand brought color coordinated outfits in anticipation of their photo ops.
So I guess this wraps up my babies' summer. In four days it will be time for the annual first day of school photo by the front door!
It sure did pass quickly!
