yes yes yes it's b-t-s!

Did you notice all the moms walking around today with big smiles on their faces??  Christmas might be the best day of the year for kids, but surely the first day of school is the best day for moms!  And it makes no difference if you work outside the home, or inside the home, it is joyous for one and all to have "structure" back in our lives!  (quoting sister Camille)  Over the years, and much to the annoyance of my kids, I have always taken the first-day-of-school photo, with each of them holding a little sign which I would write saying what grade they were entering (yes, I'm a nerdy one)..... I will admit that when they hit high school, I finally ditched the sign, but my daughter was ready for me this morning as I approached her with my camera in hand...  she even smiled.  And don't worry, she put cute little flip flops on before she walked out the door.  In her honor, here's a little High School Musical throwback for ya'll:  We're All In This Together - cast of High School Musical
