I finally got around to updating my blogroll as well, and of course you're on it.

I loved this bio idea and your boys are too cute.

Also, DAMN...if that's your house your landscaping is AWESOME girl!

Don't tell me you are late too? Why does school have to be just before Little Einsteins? My 2-year-old freaks out because she knows it's coming on and she is going to miss it-- and so we are late because I have to extricate her from the floor (her hands have grippers)

Bonnie B said...

That landscaping is awesome. I have a begonia border too, but I think yours is better

*dancing a little dance* One more week until my kids go back to school....Yippee!

I loved your post. And what a great idea. I don't know if I would be organized enough to remember to take pics!

Zephra said...

I figured you would be like me and have em at school early just to get em out of the house. Just me huh?

Valerie said...

Aww your boys are very handsome. I hope the first day of school went well.

Jen said...

Great pics and great bios!! But you tell Woody that he should be lucky all he gets is a photo. My mom used to get out the video camera at breakfast and interview my brother and I about what we were eating, what grade we were in and who our teacher was...it was awful!! And watching the videos now is SOOO painful!

Nicole- Thank you. That is a nice compliment coming from someone with such little cuties of her own!

Pendullum- Huh? Was it the waffles? Next time I'll have them eat cereal.

Pickalish- That is so cool! I am honored, thank you. I'll add you to mine too. I like that you change your background, it keeps things fresh!

CM- Thank you. Thank you. And? Thank you! I wish I could take credit. It is a team effort. I just do the watering and occasional weeding.

Bonnie- Yes I am so guilty of getting them to school late. But I do have a two day "on time" streak going so far this year!

Onetallmama- I don't know about being organized. I just put the camera out by the front door the night before so I wouldn't forget!

Zephra - I so would have done that too, but I had to go to work after dropping them off and was in no hurry for that.

Valerie- School went well, thanks!

Jen- Oh ouch! I'll be sure and tell him how lucky he is!

This is so fun. The first day of school has always felt like the *real* New Year's day to me.

I am so glad my kids take the bus, since that means they get to school on time, and if they don't, it's not my fault. The downside is that the older kids are on the bus for an hour each way. Ok, so that's a downside for them, but not really for me.

Bonnie B said...

I may have been late today. I'm not sure. The babies were in their PJs so I kind of slowed down and threw Maggie off at the curb-- It was 8:21. If her class starts at 8:20, she was late, but if it starts at 8:30 like it did in 1st grade-- we were early! Truth be told I know she needs to be there before the secretary calls me at 9. Thus far I have no idea when class starts. I'm asking tomorrow though:)

Babaloo said...

Jennifer- That is a great comparison!

Wendy- An hour each way? That must really suck for them!

Bonnie- My kids' school really decided to mess with me and changed the start time from 8:15 to 8:10. We've been at this school for four years. Why now? Why me? Arrgghh!

Pollyanna said...

TOOOOOOO CUTE! I mean handsome. No, I mean cute. Very cute. It's amazing how you were able to crawl into your kids heads like that. :)

Babaloo said...

Jodi!!! Ha! You are to kind. You must be busy... I miss your A.T.S.T updates! BTW, did you have enough school supplies for the boys? Hee, hee.

Such cute boys, funny how you gave each a profile. School started early by you.
