The Third Day of School

So I missed the first day of school picture this year. And the second. But I got one on the third and in twenty years they’re not going to know the difference anyway. In twenty years, I probably won’t know the difference. It’s all good.

    Oh my god. I just realized I got a picture of DS on his first day of grade 3 this year, but since DD’s staggered kindergarten start was weeks later… I forgot about her’s. Completely. Now THAT’S a mom fail! Will have to recreate tomorrow!!!!

    Yeah, they’ll never know the diff. Seriously. I’m just going to pop that in the album and tell them it was the first day of school. I have bigger things to stress about 😉
