This last week was a week of goodbyes: to the Christmas decorations, to the snow,
to all the boxes from the Christmas toys (ok, those aren't all gone yet),
and (most importantly for Ashley) to Ashley's favorite dress.
Robie's promise to have me post a picture of her in her favorite dress was the only way to actually get her to take it off for the last time (yes, there were still tears)..
We even said goodbye to the joy of new toys, which means the kids were resorting to having fun with their sweatshirts - because nothing beats turning your sweatshirt around and running around bumping into things!
And, finally today was the day to say goodbye to sleeping in and living on our own schedule. Let's just say school was a rude awakening for all of us!

I'll miss that dress. Maybe we'll see Lauren in it sometime soon??
Love the sweatshirt fun..
Yeah, getting back to reality was tough. I wanted to pull my hood up over my face today too, or at least crawl back in bed!
It's hard to say goodbye! Especially to sleeping in!
But she looks so dang cute in that dress! Must take after her mother ;-)
Oh, you weren't kidding on Sunday about the dress! That is such a hard thing when they grow out of their favorites. Could this mean it's time for shopping, mom?! ha! I'll bring over Aubrey's things soon.
who knew sweatshirts were so multifunctional?
and too bad about the dress. it's sad to say goodbye to favorites. i remember having to give up my yellow polka dotted shortalls (which i would wear with one strap undone- i was just that cool)... don't think i ever quite got over it. sniff.
So on Sunday when I told her it was the cutest dress ever, I wasn't helping?! She informed me that I shouldn't worry her because she would soon be getting an identical dress in the same size:)
I love Ashley's hair in that picture. Very shic!! I am surprised my boys haven't done that sweatshirt trick :D I am totally with you on the getting up and ready for school...ughh it is hard to force myself out of bed before 8am.
The dress is soo cute.Must it go ?
too many goodbye's for one week, michelle! doesn't going back to school bring such mixed emotions? it'ss nice to have the kids gone, but to have to get up early is a real sacrifise for us night owls!
