My brother's girls are in town for the week and we thought we'd take the opportunity to get them out and have their pictures taken together. We went to Portrait Innovations - the girls working there did a great job to get terrific results out of all the kids. They even got Jacob to smile!

School starts in just 2 short days... I'm DREADING it! I love having the kids at home with me, and the casual schedule instead of an alarm clock at 6:30am. I love being able to take advantage of the nice weather and late daylight - but starting Tuesday, kids have to be in bed by 8:30 or there are serious consequences for ALL of us the next day.

One thing we do have to look forward to this week is the big HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL 2 Premier Party on Friday night! The kids are having friends over and we're going to have a BLAST watching the new movie. The kids already have the new soundtrack memorized!
