{hello first day.}

hello first day.

we have ALOT of you in our future...  But today was the first, first day with BOTH boys going back to school (and together!).

Mr. Noahpants packed up his brand-new Mickey lunchbox with goldfish & a capri sun for snacktime and headed on out to his pre-preschool 2 year old class (which meets 3x's a week) for a morning that was filled with lots of playing, "Glue-ing stuff" (as his teacher informed me he did at pick-up), painting (evidenced by a tee-shirt and fingernails covered in paint), & playground time.  He loved every bit of it and didn't cry a bit when I dropped him off & waved good-bye.  TOTAL.2nd.CHILD.  ;)

& Evan started Kindergarten at the same school he went to pre-school at last year.  We love the continuity & sense of familiarity that this provided him with (so perfect for a transitional year as we intend this to be).  He rocked a new Star Wars Lego tee and light-up Star Wars sneaks, and told me he loved his new class & friends.

He brought home a sweet little note about his first day...

And also a very special new "Red Plate".

& after having such a great first day, today was designated a "Red Plate" day, with dinner eaten from the special plate, while telling Daddy ALL about what goes on in Kindergarten...

This past weekend we took some time to snap a few "back to school" pics in our backyard (since I knew this AM would be craziness!).  I snagged this vintage desk from an antique mart earlier in the week (I'd wanted to pick one up for a while now...).

& I love that his sweet little Kindergarten-Style personality shows through here...  We had fun with these...  He humored be by taking these.  ;)

It's going to be a GREAT year.

Your photography is amazing! What an exciting day! Love that super cute desk too!

[Susan Weinroth]

@kristin - its an Organic Bloom frame - they make the chalkboard insert too, so that you can swap it with a photo when you want the chalkboard look.  :)

Love these! :) I just may have to snag the first day sheet to do with my guy even though we're in our second week already.

Those sweet boys are growing up so stinking fast!!! Cute as ever, I love the all the photos :)

[laurie lariviere]

how cute!! I hope my little guy, 4 1/2, goes off to preschool next week as easily as Noah, so far he says "no way, I am not going to school" the transformers lunch box didn't help either...

This is such a lovely pictures. Our children is really the best gift to us that give us a lot of inspiration. Our support and encouragement is very important for the path that they choose for them to succeed.

Hi Susan! I love your layouts, they are amazing. Could you explain how you create the blue and green blocks of color to the sides of your photos and then add type to them. Please keep in mind I am new to PSE 9 and may need to be "walked through it."
