Goofy tradition or rite of passage???

Do anyone else's kids complain as much as mine do about having to take "1st day of School" pictures?
My boys are only good for about two pictures each so I get whatever I can get in 60 seconds!

It's really crazy that Colby is in 4th grade, today he filled out the papers to run for Student Council.  What the heck, that means he is getting older and wiser!

Cameron is in 2nd grade and though he won't admit he likes school.  He got a young new teacher this year and so far so good, hopefully it stays that way all year.  He also has some kids in his class that he hasn't had before so he is making new friends. 

Hayden was so sad that the Bruders had to go back to school and I was sad for him, he really loves the Bruders and is going to miss them.  So I had a Back to School present for him too, his very own Bar-B-Que!  He has been cooking me up lots of yummy food ever since.  He was so proud that his bar-b-que had a propane tank like his dads!  With the first week of school behind us Hayden and Clara and I are adjusting to a new schedule pretty well. I helps that Hayden is the cutest darn kid and is a joy to hang out with.  We do miss the bruders though.
