I love that Celia is all teeth and little Moira is trying with all her might not to let a tooth slip out. Happy month back to school, I am famous for re-creating photo op's so I won't judge.
They're gorgeous! Don't feel bad- I am in the process of pulling my daughter out of one school and getting her enrolled at a different one...guess that means a new photo op...
Gorgeous girls. I was forgetting to take pictures on the first day when I was reminded by my 9yr old son, I felt like shit, but better lare than never, I say!!
At least they're facing the camera. My daughter immediately turns her back whenever the camera is pointed remotely in her direction. We've had to resort to paparazzi-style photos. (and your girls are lovely)
And thats how I roll too. Uniforms make it possible to say yu took it anytime; who's gonna know the difference. The girls look happy with those big smiles. Good job momma!
Ahhh, yes. The "cheesy" smile, the "no teeth" smile, the "I'm opening my mouth doesn't this count as a smile" smile ..... every phase, we've gone through it here at our house, too. :)
This looks *very* similar to the smiling technique I use with my 5 year old daughter. (i.e. bribery/threatening). Our other daughter, 2 year old Porkchop (i.e. Violet) loves to take her picture, and immediately wants to see the result so she can tell me how cute she is. Stuck on herself already, at the ripe old age of 2.
Oh they are so cute. And I have back to school pictures taken of me back in the day and something about this type of picture never stops being hilarious.
Awesome! What sweet pics--they are too cute. Thanks for sharing! I once was babysitting two little boys for 2 days (I was in college, their parents were at a conference), and one of the days was the first day of school. I took pics of the kids, and their parents were sooooo grateful and made me feel like I had done something amazing for remembering. Sadly now that I am a parent for real it seems like I never have a camera handy when I need one.
Wow,, at least you did the pics. I felt so guilty after watching everyone else's blogs post first day pics that I drug my camera to the carpool line and attempted to take a picture of my son sitting there waiting for me. It wasn't much of a pic. Maybe you've inspired me to line my kids up tomorrow and blog "5th Week of School Photos". Hee.
Don't feel bad. The family pictures on our walls don't have our 9 year-old, our 6 year-old, and our 2 year-old in it. So you're doing pretty darn good!
Those quirky smiles are simply adorable! I still think about you so often. I'm sure that your days are busy and filled, but still so empty without him.
Oh, SO glad to see someone else took the back to school pictures late too!!

So cute!
I remember my mom doing this through about first grade. And then I don't remember her doing it anymore.

I'm pretty sure that you cloned all three of your kids. They all look just like you.

They are so cute! Too bad you didn't let them cut their bangs themselves. Then their pictures would've look exactly like my school pictures.

Your daughters are stunning!

Despite your blog's name? Your kids are not really that hairy at all!! All 3 = adorable.
By the way these pics definitely motivates me to get my kid into a uniform-school when the day comes - one less battle for the morning.
