Last year at Kindergarten round up the teacher did a neat thing where they planted a sunflower with the kids. They then told them that when the sunflower was taller than they were, and had bloomed it was time for school to start. They also got to bring home extra seeds “just in case” and we decided to plant them all. We ended up with 3 sunflowers out of 4, which I didn’t feel was too bad.
They got HUGE. Taller than our garage. The one that is all drooped over was the one they planted at school. The one she is standing next to has bloomed and it’s flower is stuck under the edge of the garage.
I’m not exactly sure everyone was awake for this picture!
Then there are the traditional close up/full body shots!
My big 2nd grader
My sweet Kindergartener
And my adorable preschooler
And of course one more group shot for good measure!
Headed to the bus.
I love these shots. They all did so good!
Bus driver is great. “Turn and Look at mom.” And of course them all waving. THIS is the moment I broke down crying. I was fine before they got on the bus. When it drove away I bawled!

ReplyDeleteSeriously, I'm all teary eyed looking at those pictures! Why do our kids have to grow up so fast!
ReplyDeleteAww! So cute! Great pictures. I am going to cry so hard when my boys start school.
ReplyDeleteWait until that year...
ReplyDeleteI just had THAT year. After successfully taking first day of school photos for 12 years in a row I totally blew it this year. Really? Must be old-timers! LOL Oh, well. Totally screwed up and never got school photos of my Junior last year either. I guess at some point when enough other sh*t is going on some of those things don't matter near as much as hugging them. YOUR PHOTOS on the other hand..are outstanding. Sorry you cried.
