1st day of School

This a few days late, but I still thought I'd share. This year has been very different for our family. For the first time our kids are attending the local school and they aren't wearing uniforms. I always knew what a blessing it was to have my children in CMCA (their old school), but I never thought about the convenience of uniforms. I could make one trip to the Lands End website and a stop at the resale and cross almost everything off my list. Now my children have opinions and they want to wear what is in style. How would I know what is in style? Did I mention fighting the modesty war for the first time? It has been a real wake up experience, but it has also been a ton of fun. When taking my kids to the store, I had them try on outfit after outfit, and they really got excited (even Colin!). I was a bit overwhelmed when we began the trip, but it was a blast. I didn't even mind all the "Are all these kids yours?" comments.
