Last week a truly wonderful reader sent me this picture and told me I should run it and ask other people to send in their hilarious back to school pictures. After almost 4 years of hanging out with you guys, I pretty much always do what you tell me to.
So I now proudly present some very awesome back to school pictures:

The awesome picture that started it all.
|
 |
Guess which one is the middle child? |
 |
She's like: "Soon, Mommy, SOON."
I feel like if you told that kid to hurry up right now she'd be like:
Right?! Moving onto this gem:

 |
School is number 1! |
This one has a story - which I love:
I have a spontaneous best EVER pix. My son has autism and this was his first day of 3rd grade and public School. He was trying to be silly. I'm such a great mom, I didn't see it until after the photo was taken. Sigh...I'm so awesome. He didn't know what it meant, but does now.
Love that kid!
Another fun story:
I wanted a picture of the girls' hair and backpacks, so I asked them to turn around. The not-going-to-school 3-year-old boy rebelled, still harboring some righteous indignation because he didn't get a new ALLTHETHINGS. So his 9-year-old sister was "helping" him turn around with extreme prejudice when he decided the best solution was to Vogue.

SMILE!!!! |
 |
He's like the Pointer Sisters. He's so excited. And he just can't hide it. |
 |
Seriously?! How is this a good idea?! |
Here's the backstory on this note (that is clearly designed to make parents heave cry):
So my son's kindergarten teacher tried to slay all mothers the first day of school. I overheard her say to a dad: "Well, it may be better that her mom didn't read this now". Lol this was the bookmark she made the parents.
To this teacher I say, "WHAT THE HELL LADY?!" I cried and I don't even have a kid in your class.
 |
Now kids, I just want one nice picture. NO HAMMING IT UP THIS TIME. Oh for the love of Pete. |
 |
I love this whole family so much it's not even freaking funny.
And there's more from them! This is the picture they took on the last day of school: |
 |
Me love them long time. The whole fam. Also? If you need a photographer in Chicago, you can hire the mom. |
