Everybody has been talking about back to school. I’ve seen photos of parents celebrating. I’ve read posts of parents not being ready for the beginning of a new school year. My situation is a little different. My kids aren’t in “school”. My son is in pre-school but it’s a part of daycare. My daughter is in the same daycare. While they haven’t been out for summer, they are getting ready for the start of a new school year in their own way. My daughter is moving on to the 1 year old class and her brother is moving into his new class as well. He’s inching closer and closer to kindergarten. I.AM.NOT.READY. Sigh…
Well, just because they are not in traditional school, doesn’t mean that my babies don’t need new school clothes! We were invited to Media Day at Children’s Place and got some goodies to get the kiddies super cute for school. We found all kinds of cute stuff. There are lots of bright colors for the girls and lots of layers for the boys.
Had to get this shirt. My little man loves the T-Rex!
Let me just say, my kids aren’t always fully supportive of this blogging life. They don’t care that I want to take their pictures showing off their new clothes.
Nope they’d rather play with the neighbors cat who just happened to be out during our photo shoot.
They also, sometimes prefer to not look at the camera. Can’t. Be. Bothered. Yeah, this was going real well.
Then as we’re walking back to our house, I get a glimpse of them just being them. I get my daughter inspecting a flower. I catch my son showing me how he saw a worm wiggle on the sidewalk. I remember that it’s this that I was looking for. Just them being… them.
These are my babies in their Cali cool, back to school looks. These are my babies being my babies. How are you adjusting to back to school?

They’re adorable in their CP outfits, and they’re so cute that you can’t even be mad that they had their own agenda that day. š

Your children are adorable! I just came across your blog and I love it!
Girl, they are too cute. Find me a kid who likes to take pictures and I will swear they are being bribed with sugar. I, too, can’t get my child to take one for anything.

How adorable! I remember Madison would do the same thing she would hate it when I tried to get her to stand still so I could get a pic while she wanted to run and play!! She now tells me Mommy let’s go outside and take pics, ok!! lol
I need to head into the Children’s Place, someone wants pink dresses!

since Jas wears uniforms we didn’t really do back to school shopping but I did buy her new shoes because she’s had a heck of a growth spurt this summer

I love Children’s Place. I love new school clothes! I loved it when I was a student, and now I think I love it even more.

Hi Cam! This is my first time stopping by your blog and I love it! So ironic I was thinking how I need to go back to Children’s Place to get my son some more jeans for school. They fit him perfectly! He’s slim and not very tall for 9 years old but their jeans are perfect! I’m mad I didn’t stock up when they were $10 but I didn’t know how well they would fit! Anyway. . .your kids are precious! Just adorable! I’ll probably send my daughter to pre-school next semester to prep her for kinder. . .they just grow up so fast! I’m off to follow you on twitter! š
