Ashley Reacts to School Uniforms!

School starts soon and we've been getting ready for Ashley to start Kindergarten and Luke to be in first grade! Hooray! The kids will be wearing uniforms to their school this year and Ashley was less than impressed with how she looked when she first saw herself. It was adorable. Thankfully she is a kid who comes around quickly.

Jill said...: That face... What a funny girl. Uniforms will make life easier. They no what to wear everyday. I think you are going to love this charter school.; August 3, 2008 at 9:00 PM
The Curtis Family said...: She looks adorable! I can't wait to hear how you like it over there... We pondered putting Emma there for Kindergarten but decided to go with the regular school. Do tell :). Our old neighbor has had her daughter there since kindergarten, and she's in 4th this year. They love it!; August 4, 2008 at 4:33 PM

Mom's Favorite Quotes

I don't want to drive up to the pearly gates in a shiny sports car, wearing beautifully tailored clothes, my hair expertly coiffed, and with long, perfectly manicured fingernails. I want to drive up in a station wagon that has mud on the wheels from taking kids to scout camp. I want to be there with a smudge of peanut butter on my shirt from making sandwiches for a sick neighbors children. I want to be there with a little dirt under my fingernails from helping to weed someone's garden. I want to be there with children's sticky kisses on my cheeks and the tears of a friend on my shoulder. I want the Lord to know I was really here and that I really lived." — Marjorie Pay Hinckley

"The biggest mistake I made [as a parent] is the one that most of us make....I did not live in the moment enough. This is particularly clear now that the moment is gone, captured only in photographs. There is one picture of [my three children] sitting in the grass on a quilt in the shadow of the swing set on a summer day, ages six, four, and one. And I wish I could remember what we ate, and what we talked about, and how they sounded, and how they looked when they slept that night. I wish I had not been in such a hurry to get on to the next thing: dinner, bath, book, bed. I wish I had treasured the doing a little more and the getting it done a little less."
