Respect

Eli and Sariah both won the student of the month awards at school for "respect."  I feel like my mothering is sub-par much of the time, so the fact that all three of my kids were recognized as students of the month in the first two months of school makes me feel like I'm doing something right!  I think all moms need those little reminders that their work is not in vain.  So proud of these cuties. 

Don't worry, it was "mix-match" day at school. 

While I've relaxed over the years, I wouldn't let the kids go to school with two different shoes on.  We do maintain some standards!
