the chonmage: it's his signature look

Just the facts:
favorite color: orange
favorite way to wear a shirt: collar popped
favorite hairstyle: samurai ponytail
favorite mode of transportation: school bus
Loves kinder? Yes!
For school picture day, this was the outfit he picked out. When we got the pictures back, they had put down his collar (he has always worn it popped since he was a baby and did it himself) and his signature ponytail (seriously, everyone knows him by this ponytail look and some of the other kids have started wearing it) was cut out of the picture. I was bummed that he had put so much thought into it and they changed it, so I figured we'd recreate it. And, voilĂ ! Here's his official kinder photo.

And now for my most favorite part that I've been waiting 5 1/2 years for...my kinder family pics are complete!

archer

Winston has been doing so well in school. He gets a daily behavior chart mark. A couple of times a week, he gets a "wow!" which means he's gone above and beyond for the day. I told him that once he earned his 10th one, he'd get a special gift from our favorite toy store. He picked out this cool Angry Birds bow and arrow set.



Ski goggles and Momma's gloves. Now he's official.

great unexpectations

Before I was a parent, I could only guess about what it would truly be like. 
One aspect I never really thought about? 
The hours and hours AND HOURS I'd spend standing in lines so my kids can have their faces painted. 
Have they ever asked me to do it at home? I would! 
But, nope.
Having a face painted at a festival is apparently the only way to do it.
