surprise and first day of school

WOW WHAT A SURPRISE!! THESE TWO WONDERFUL PEOPLE STOPPED BY FOR DINNER rather unexpectedly, what a great surprise!! hahaha. I got a call from a crackling cell phone and an hour later these two love birds were on our doorstep!! yippeeeee, pretty exciting for us since they live 3 hours away!!! :) A and R it was great to see your smiling faces!!! Next time we'll come to you for a night to visit k???
And today.... IS THE FIRST DAY OF JK (junior kindergarten) so here is miss J ready to run.... she is very very VERY excited. in fact, i am having trouble holding her off... she has been ready to go, backpack on, shoes on, etc since we finished breaky.... and we still had half an hour to go! haha. oh well, anticipation is good for the heart.
photo shoot for J's first day....
The styling princess backpack we found at a second hand store in primo condition - $5. :)

the styling black dress with pink accents - also thrifted - $6 (i think...), oh the jacket was too, but it isn't part of the outfit... it was just on to keep her warm until the sun came over the housetops. :)
She has a lovely pink poncho in the car awaiting her, to finish off the outfit properly (according to her, not me. i am not her wardrobe coordinator... i handed that task over to her long ago... haha)

anyway. we are soon to be off, so i should go get my lists of errands and other such things ready for MY day. :)

yippee a new phase in life... how fun!
