As always, we have muffins for breakfast on the first day of school, thanks to Betsy-Tacy. These are Kababayn muffins, recipe courtesy Tia Rome. Very good, or as my brother says, "Donuts in muffin form."
Miss Big Time Third Grader:
Today is Elaine's first day of kindergarten:
The annual backpack shots (Lucy's too cool to have a character backpack this year):
But kindergartners still love Hello Kitty:
New shoes, of course:
My first day of school today too--English 103, "Reading Literature and Writing Argument." Not quite as much fun as Grades 3 and K...
Dad and girls:
Elaine meets her kindgerten teacher at the door of the Rainforest Room (her coat hook has a picture of a monkey on it. She was only slightly disappointed that it wasn't a cat.)
The teacher read The Kissing Hand to everyone. After that, we said goodbye:
My baby goes to kindergarten:
Flashback 1974 (check out my rockin' threads as I stand in front of the radiator cover):
As is often the case, the flavor of the day is Bittersweet.

I love this annual posting! I can't believe our December babies are starting kindergarten! Love the pics too! Hey, do you think you could send me that muffin recipe? I think I would like to adopt that tradition as well!
I hope all of your first days went well!
Oh how I love 'back to school'. I love the smell of crayons and the shiny hallway floors. I love new shoes and new teachers and big smiles on the first day. I loved, loved, loved getting my classroom ready for the first day, and meeting all my new little people. I hope your girls' teachers love teaching every bit as much as I did. And I hope their fist day was absolutely grand.
Can't believe how much they've grown since I started reading your blog!
Thanks once again. It is so fun to see the girls grow up and have new adventures.
Oh my, Alice! Love the pictures of the girls. I really love the way cool picture from your first day of school. You look so excited!!
