I Am Now A Mother Of An Only Child


Today was the first day of school. Z started 5th grade!! And apparently when you are 10 and in 5th grade it is NOT cool for your mom to take pictures. Oh well--deal with it buddy!!



H started 1st grade. She was so excited to go this morning. Now I have 2 children in school all day!! I can't believe it. Oh yeah--and did you notice H's haircut?! I am NOT so happy about it but she loves it. And can I just say that when I ask for an A-line I WANT AN A-LINE?! UGH!! Happy first day of school!!
**Side note--don't you just love the lady's outfit behind H?! She saw me taking pictures of H and kept walking right in front of the camera. I wanted to slap her!!**

I love her hair! And besides, A-line's been done, let her be the leading edge of fashion in the class ;). I think that lady deserves payback in the form of a cropped picture on the front of my fridge to remind me to quit eating!

Ashlee said...

I think her hair is adorable! She looks so sweet!

Christa said...

I got the eyerolls and disgusted comments over pictures too.

Her hair is very cute.

Sarah said...

It's even better when all of them are in school!

Leah said...

Adorable pictures, and I love her hair. I think it looks so cute on her. :-D Congrats on having two little ones in school. :-D

Kristen said...

I laughed out loud at his "delighted" face expression! As for H, she is super cute. what are you going to do with yourself all day?

Jessica said...

Hurray for back to school! They look so cute - even if you have now become the uncool mom.

Liz said...

Her hair is cute!! Love the outfit! I can't believe she kept walking

Irish Chick Soup said...

You may be uncool mom now, but when they're grown up they're going to love that you documented this.

Also, I agree her hair is adorable and that picture of your son at his desk is hilarious.

Unknown said...

Ahh such cute kids- what a great day!
Enjoy that one on one with the little one! O is going to Love it!

susette said...

The outfit!? You mean you don't like that she looks all ready for Christmas?

The Blonde Duck said...

I probably would have been like, "You know the expression, "Take a picture, it lasts longer? Well, not with you honey!"

:) And then I would have taken more pictures of my child.

Liz Mays said...

I think her hair looks cute! And your son's expression cracks me up!

My Mindless Words said...

In 2 weeks I'll be in exactly the same position. Funny enough my boys are going into grade 1 and 5 as well.

Denise @ Sunflowers, Chocolate and Little Boys said...

I think her hair is cute! and on Sept 8th I will be in the same position as you. J will be starting Kindergarten so it will be just R home alone with me. I am both sad and excited. Let me know how it is, ok??

HA! I did notice the outfit in the background...wow, it must be cold in your neck of the woods.

Great first day of school pics, I am on the countdown to next Tues, when I don't have any children for the whole day!

Bonnie the Boss said...

That ladies outfit is funny! your kids look so cute!

Lee said...

I remember getting mad when my mom would put a camera in my face once I got older and was in school.
Your kids look cute!

Cranberryfries said...

So fun to have the kids in school. I love that picture of Z! Cracks me up. And H's haircut is cute!

Isn't it funny when people loose common sense? My friends and I were trying to take a picutre and this lady was standing right in front of us -just looking at us. She would not move and literally like 1 min later my friend says, "MOVE OVER" Ugh people.

heather said...

It might not be A-line, but it is A PLUS cute! :)

Vanessa said...

Yay for back to school!

Mary said...

I just love how thrilled your son looks...and I also like your daughter's haircut :o)

Wendyburd1 said...

The Blonde Duck said...

I hope the second day of school (today) goes well!

in time out said...

Right there with you about the back to school pictures. I plan to post some photos on my family blog....same trouble with background people in the pictures. I just wanted the cute kids....arggghhhhh. Missed you. Hope you are feeling well. Hugs. ♥

Unknown said...

Erin said...

Yay for school! Your children are just adorable. And yeah, the lady in the background - don't they get it???

Kacey said...

Awww! They are too cute. Your son's "Mom stop taking pictures" look is priceless and sweet girl's haircut is adorable!

Jillene said...

Erin--
I kept sighing at her really dramatically but I guess she didn't get the hint. I wanted to yell at her but that probably wouldn't have been appropriate in a room full of 1st graders!!

Sandy said...

Tomorrow, I will only have one at home :0(

Jillene said...

Sandy--
My little one at home is having a really hard time. She misses her brother and sister and wants someone to play with. )0: But the bad this is....once they are home....they fight. UGH!!

Good thing she starts preschool on Sept. 8th!! I will have 4 hours a week of alone time--what to do?!

Whitney R said...

Seriously? Red pants and grey shirt woman? Getting in your pictures?! What a weirdie.

H looks so pretty! The hair looks good, maybe in a few months you'll get your A-line :)

p.s. sorry I've been so absent. Traveling the U.S. and putting together a baby shower has drained me. I'm barely cranking out my weekly posts. Thank you for your comments despite my absenteeness :)

House Queen said...

I LOVE her hair! Oh, and oh yeah...you won a giveaway on my blog!!! Check it out!

Anonymous said...

Oh my gosh, his face is priceless!

Jen said...

Oh man! What a blessing! Snort! Love the pictures. Iknow my daughter who's in 5th grade would probably freak, too, if I took her picture at school, so I took one of her on our porch. I love "H's" haircut! She is one gorgeous girl with beautiful coloring!

Jo said...

Honestly? I think H looks sooo incredibly beautiful in that cut. Her eyes just jump out at you. Beautiful girl. And grumpy too old for this, but still handsome boy! I hope your youngest is going to go to preschool, cause you deserve some time!

Jillene said...

Jo--
She is. She starts next Tuesday. So I will have 4 hours a week to myself--whoo hoo!!
