It's the first day of a new school year. Walloo! There were new outfits to mark the occasion (an aqua kilted dress for the Possum [yes, the first dress she's wanted in two years or so], and a black and hot pink t and scooter skirt for the PandaBat, who doesn't want her undies to show when she's climbing around). There were new school bags (an aqua messenger bag for the Possum [just like my new red messenger bag], a hot pink and black backpack for the PandaBat. There were school supplies which are so much fun to get.
And after delivering the PandaBat and the industrial size bottle of hand sanitizer to her first grade classroom, the Possum and I discovered a distressed second-grader, who we delivered to his room on the other hall. Poor guy. He seemed better for the help. Now I can't believe, as I escort the Offspring and their tons o' class stuff on the first day, that several years ago I sent the Possum on the bus for her first day of kindergarten. Poor kid. Even a visit to open house a few days before doesn't prepare anyone for the madness that is the first day.
Today I'm grateful for re-dos, after messing up the first time.

Aww...re-dos are the best. Are there pictures of these outfits? Aunt Debi wants to see the cuteness.
I should have thought of that. Doh! I failed to take pictures. But in the spirit of re-dos, I'll ask the Offspring to recreate the first day of school for a picture, and I'll post it, okay?
That works for me. :)
Your kids are not only adorable...they look like people I'd like to know.
So said in an email that you were posting pictures of the girls and I kept waiting and waiting for them to show up...
And then I realized I hadn't, for some reason, thrown your blog in my Blog Reader. That's been corrected now and I am busy catching up.
Thanks. I'm very lucky, because they are people I like knowing.
