1st Day of School & Teacher Appreciate Gifts

Today is my oldest son's

first day of 1st Grade.

He was so excited to start this new school year.

Here he is before the bus picked him up.

Now let me explain the Mohawk :)

I am a mom that likes simple, easy & affordable. So we buzz our 2 boys hair ourselves. And this summer before our trip to Washington state, my boys decided they wanted Mohawks in honor of their Uncle in the army.

Well T-man here kept his the entire summer & negotiated with us to keep his summer do until after the first day of school (He wanted to show it off to all his friends on the first day). We agreed. So tonight after he gets off he bus.

It's haircut time! :)
