Taylor picked out her outfit the night before, and insisted on wearing not only the coordinating necklace, but a scarf as well. The girl LOVES to accessorize! She was also super excited to wear her Sketchers Twinkle Toes Groovy Baby shoes - every little girls dream! They are pretty much every annoying thing they could do to shoes rolled up into one pair - glitter, rhinestones, lights, embroidered peace signs...you get the point!
We are super lucky in our schools as we do not have to provide any school supplies, just a backpack. Taylor picked a Barbie bride backpack, and in all it's pink and girly glory, it's actually pretty cute. The dress even has a piece of fabric that is loose (which requires the backpack to be hung on a hook by the door out of the reach of the ornery kittens).
Taylor loves riding the bus, and was ready to hop on when it arrived! I reminded her that I would like at least one picture this year, so she didn't sprint up the stairs and disappear like last year! We found out that Taylor's regular bus driver, George, had experienced a heart attack during the week was having bypass surgery instead of taking the kids to their first day of school. Taylor is so sweet, she has been praying for George each night!
Taylor had a great first day of school, although she was pretty tired when she got home! She announced that she didn't have any homework, I think she was a little disappointed, lol!
Stay tuned later this week, Trace starts school on Wednesday. If anyone wants to hang out with me while I cry all day, let me know!
Wow - what a terrific girl! Love her shoes!!!
ReplyDeleteOh, so lucky to not have to buy school supplies. We not only buy for our kids but purchase supplies for the class times 2....and they still need more. Hopefully George recovers quickly from the bypass. Tay would have fit in so well with my high school days....what a little diva she is! I'll be looking for Trace's post later this week. Hugs! Bring your tissues, I'll be thinking of you.
ReplyDeleteLove the outfit! Glad that she had a great first day of school. I'm with Melisa - you're lucky that you don't have to buy anything for school. We were sent home with a list of things to provide for the Caty's kinder class. The class actually provides things like pencils and pencils boxes, but we had to bring in glue sticks, sharpies, erasers, and a handful of other things.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to hear how Trace's first day goes.
What is that fuzzy white stuff in the sky behind Taylor? I'm totally confused - it's in the triple digits in the San Fernando Valley today! :-D
ReplyDeleteI'm terrified of how girly Caitlin's gonna be by then - Evan just needs something to cover himself, preferably with a dragon or a skull or something on it, and he's happy. Boys are EASY! hehehe...
Oh she looks so adorable! I love her accessories and that backpack...oh I want a girl! :) She poses beautifully too...you lucked out there. Or perhaps it's her pageant experience. I love the video of Trace. Such a handsome guy! I will cry with you today. I can't believe how fast these little guys are growing up. Trace is such a handsome guy! He melts my heart.
ReplyDeleteTaylor is my kind of girl. I just love the backpack and the outfit and of course the accessories. It's so funny I still fondly remember getting all excited about back to school shopping. Meanwhile all the clothes were for fall and it was still hot outside. Hey one year my happiness was over deck shoes with the laces all twisted up. Totally awesome. She looks gorgeous too!
ReplyDeleteHope you did ok this morning after Mr. Trace started school.
Taylor could not be any cuter! I love her outfit and accessories! What a cute backpack too! She takes the best pictures - glad you were able to get a picture of her getting on the bus this year!
ReplyDeleteWow - that's awesome that all you have to buy is a backpack as far as school supplies! The kids have a decent size list here.
Can't wait to hear about Trace's first day - hope he had fun today! If I lived closer (and read blogs quicker), I would have brought tissues and cried with you! I know I'll be a mess when it's Simon's turn to start school! Hugs!
Tay certainly had a rockin' outfit for the first day of school. I was totally LMAO at her shoes ... we just took the girls school shopping this weekend and they both chose those twinkle toe sketchers! Hope she has a great year!
ReplyDeleteHow did I miss this post?? I just love Taylor's fashion sense! She looks adorable! Riding the bus must be so exciting. I'm so glad she had a great first day, can't wait to hear how Trace is doing too!
ReplyDeleteOk, I don't think I could be any more behind right now! Taylors back to school fashion is rockin! Love her outfit and perfect smile! You are soooo lucky to only have to buy a backpack!!! As far as passing the time goes until the kids get home, don't worry it goes faster than you think! Yay back to school!!!
ReplyDeleteDestini~ I feel for you ... wait till Taylor gets in Middle School?! She is such a fashion Diva ... So cute!!
ReplyDeleteTaylor is beautiful as usual - I love that she is such a fashionista! I hope Trace's first day of school went well. It was great seeing you guys a few weeks ago!
