Why Our Imperfect Back To School Photo Is My Favorite

I love all the back to school photos people post. I wish we had done them from the beginning because it would be fun to see the progression through the years.

But, I didn’t. It wasn’t as much of a thing 6 years ago.

And, let’s be honest, if it was a “thing”, I still might not have done it because I love the idea of things like this more than the actual implementation.

That sentence tells you pretty much all you need to know about me. Idea=Hooray! Implementation=What? Actual effort?

 

I’ve taken a photo the last several years and done it so imperfectly and I think I’m okay with that. No frame for the little signs. The kids clothes are sort of a mess. Hair a disaster.

I love it.

This is who we are.

Barefoot because we  are hanging out at home.

Mismatched with stripes and plaid on the same kid because I think it’s kind of cute and don’t care most days.

Hair that needs a trim, but I had not given much thought to.

Goofy smiles.

Kids holding the wrong grade signs or holding them upside down.

A perfect showcase of the fact that Audrey cares about how her hair and clothes look and the boys don’t 🙂

Tan legs and arms from Tennessee summer days at the pool.

This is who we are and I love these ragamuffins like crazy.
