anywho, the first order of business on the first day was to get pictures of each of the kiddos. i've usually always taken them outside our front door, never minding that the particular front door has changed every year.
the other differences this year? no backpacks! and no rushing out the door to get to school on time! and no need for new school uniforms! and NO HOMEWORK!!!
oh and immediately after taking our first day of school pictures, instead of hustling off to school, we all turned around and went right back inside to begin our very first year of homeschool.
and i'm happy to report, so far so good. :)

accomplishments: just turned 6 months old, weighing in at 14 lbs 1 oz (though that is pretty inaccurate because i was wailing and wiggling and putting up a pretty good fight to get off that scale and the doctor was impressed by my strength and agility), rolling all over the place, getting up on all fours trying to figure out this crawling thing, flipping one leg forward and propping up to a sitting position, splashing like crazy in the bath, having very strong stranger anxiety which started at 4 months (and i'm told is just like my big brother when he was a baby), and tiring myself out with all these antics so i take two naps a day which last between 1.5-2 hours, and sleep 11 hours at night.

Way to go! We started school before you and I still have posted anything about school. haha And no "official" first day pics either. Oops!
love the post as usual, good luck on the home schooling thing, but since you actually went to school to teach, it should come natural. I would be a fish out of water and everyone would be in tears...including myself. ;D
I look forward to reading about your adventures in homeschooling...and I'm wondering when you are going to rock the stereotypical denim jumper outfit? JUST KIDDING! The pictures are adorable!
Sarah- ha ha! I looked into ordering some denim jumpers on amazon but unfortunately they are out of stock and don't know when or if they'll be available again. Sadly, my Laura Ashley floral print dresses will have to do for now.
