Back to School 2013

Back to school pictures were fun this year. Mikie always takes off on registration day to take the kids since I have to work. This year he wasn't off on the first true day of school so we decided to take pics on registration day. This was the only one he got. Mollie was mad at Maggie for telling her to let her help hold the sign and so she spit in Maggie's face. Mollie didn't like the punishment that came with it. This is proof for all of you who think our four act at home like they do in public, they don't.           

Registration Day

And then the next morning, I pulled out the tripod. After 4 practice shots I finally had us all in the frame, with arms and heads. A much better morning than the one before. 

1st true day of school

This week went to one of our favorite places Downtown Morristown and took more back to school pics. 

Still wearing those red boots!

Seven and half days of school down, beautiful weather for August and four excited kids anxious to see what the year holds.

New House Sneak Peak

We closed Wednesday evening on what will become our new home in just a few months. As you will see in these pictures it needs some major TLC. It was built in 1912. The family we bought it from was so excited that kids were moving in. They finished signing first and while Mikie and I were finishing our paperwork they spent time with our kids. They found out were the peach, apple and pecan trees are and the best hiding places for hide and seek. They told us the garden should be good to go with well fertilized dirt from the farm they ran there. We are able to have animals there too. I'll take some outside pictures of the house, barns, sheds and Michael's favorite building the outhouse when the weather clears up. Now for getting our current home ready to show and the new one ready to move in. Ignore the crazy, overly excited, you would have thought we were moving into to Disney World kids. :)

Have any ideals of how you would remodel? I'd love to hear them and stay tuned for the exciting adventure.
