I TAKE IT BACK

I don't want time to pass so quickly.  They really don't stay little very long, do they?  I swear all I did was blink... and all of the sudden I have a 3rd, and 1st grader.  We had a lovely (crappy) time, picking out first day outfits.  Gone are the days when they just wear what I tell them to.  Sigh...  These outfits were a MAJOR compromise.  Aunt Carol took them back to school shopping while we were still in Idaho, and bought them some fun things.  Pyper was really set on wearing the Hannah Montana shirt with the big gold belt, her skinny jeans, and her high heels.  (wedges)  She looks adorable (and old) in it- but I didn't want her to roast.  She was a little sad that she wouldn't be "pop lockin and rockin".  HUH?  I have no clue what that means... but that's what she said.  I never thought I would be old enough to not understand what the heck my kids are saying. 
I have a million pictures of them like this.  I swear, I don't tell them to do it.  They just really like each other.  It is our hope and prayer, that someday Elle will be bigger than her backpack.
This is Elle, confused.
This is Elle realizing that we hadn't left yet.  It's also her audition picture for a zombie movie.
One last look.  Yup.  I'm still here.

Well, she still looked "pop lockin and rockin!" I'm not sure what that means exactly, but it sounds like a good thing.

Yeah, Andrew went for the Star Wars t-shirt for the first day, rather than the preppy polo shirt that I wanted him to choose. sigh. I guess I better enjoy dressing Logan and Hannah while I can!

I'm with you on the grown up kids. Paden in 3rd and Amelia in 1st...thankfully I have a few years before Larisa goes to school! Rich wanted me to ask if you still have the same neighbors downstairs that we had? And have you had any encounters with the huge, naked man in the basement? AAARGHH!!! I still can picture it! dIsguting! Anyhow, the girls looked beautiful and stylish as always!

Your girls are so cute. I'm starting to think that I would rather have this baby be a girl, so they can be buds.
