I blame Gary Larson and I blame "The Bunny".
Odd little pictures of odd little creatures having odd little thoughts.
I started putting pictures in the girls' lunch boxes. It was a very random kind of thing at first but I sort of settled into doing them on Thursday night and putting them in their bags so they found them on Friday morning.
Then, one Friday morning I heard Natalie say to her sister "I hope we have a picture today, but I'm not going to check until later."
And now a new tradition is born.
I'm posting some of the best ones (that would be the ones that I like) here for you to see.

Something a little different. This was for the first week of school so I thought it would be interesting to do a "Summer in Review" page. I wrote "Thank you for an amazing summer.
