Ah, the first day of school has arrived. Time for the boys to rip the tags off of those new clothes and pull those shiny new shoes out of the boxes and hit the books! This is indeed a happy time of the year for parents as the kids get a new dose of reality. For two months now, they've slept until eleven, eaten like horses and lounged about the house. We love having them around, of course, but let's be honest... they've been driving us crazy with all the racket. The dirty rooms... the smells... It's time to get back to work.
The best part, the event that let's you know that school is really back in session, is the annual 'first day of school' picture. Every kid gets them taken. Every kid has a collection of these from years gone by. From looking through these 'first day' pictures, you can trace a strange history of fashion from the wide belts and bell bottoms of my first grade picture, through these goofy plaid shorts that they all seemed to be wearing today.
So to all the kids I offer my condolences and to all of the parents I offer this toast, "Cheers, to the most wonderful time of the year!"
