Back to the Grind

Neither of my little darlings really enjoy school. It makes me a little sad because I used to love going! I used Picmonkey to tweak their back to school shots we took this morning. My daughter is going into grade 11 at high school and my son into grade 7 at middle school.
Nice shots.. they will look back in years to come and realize how good school was..

Awww... we have "first day of school" shots for every year, too. A lovely edit, too.

Some days are better than others, but the work, ugh.
September 10th, 2015  
Great 1st day of school shots! A treasure!
September 10th, 2015  
Great photos! I hope they have a more enjoyable year!

What a nicely put together shot of the two of them - have a granddaughter (now 18) who has hated school since the first day of kindergarten - been a long push. Hope they have a reasonably happy year even if school isn't their favorite thing! (Good looking kids).

They both have a sort of 'grin and bear it' expression. I also loved school and feel sad when kids don't. I wonder if school has become a different sort of place with the emphasis on testing.

A beautifully presented diptych . The two have that expression of --here we go again ! I hope this school year will not be too much of a grind for them -- I enjoyed every minute of school (besides perhaps PE !! - was never any good at it !! )

Great back to school shots.

Wonderful captures! Maybe this year will be different! Sometimes it only takes one teacher to change their minds about school!

Seems odd seeing your lovely daughter going back to school yet she is the owner of that wonderful VW........you drive so young in your country! I see that wayward eyebrow is still there too! Great looking kids......I think they perhaps will be ok once they get startedM

Wonderful!
September 10th, 2015  
I love how you worked the grades onto there binders - great idea! I hope they had a good (if not wonderful!) day. :-)
September 10th, 2015  
Great portraits and presentation!
September 10th, 2015  
Yes, they both seem really excited about going back to school....NOT!! Yes, I used to love school, too, and still do...I think it was all about the learning and being transported to other places. Maybe their lives are so rich with experiences they don't really need to learn about it in school! They are wonderful kids...

My girls go through stages in regards to liking or not liking school. I think it has a lot to do with their teachers. My eldest daughter is really enjoying school this year and loves her teacher, my youngest daughter, not so much.

What a beautiful diptych of the two of them.
September 10th, 2015  
Great pictures of your kids, Kim. Their smiles are quite similar, really. (I loved school myself.)
September 10th, 2015  
Nicely done. A great duo
September 10th, 2015  
Great shots! Love the creation!
September 10th, 2015  
Great school pics!
September 10th, 2015  
Good memories...
September 10th, 2015  
Gosh, they're getting big! (compared to what I remember from my first go around here at 365) Great 1st day capture - your children are beautiful.
September 10th, 2015  
Great portraits - I like to joke that life around our house is so boring the kids love going back to school.
September 10th, 2015  
Nice processing.
September 10th, 2015  
Great for the memory book! I used to take photos on the first day of school at our front door so I could see how tall the kids were getting each year!
September 10th, 2015  
They have the same smile! Great photos!
September 10th, 2015  
They are lovely. What a shame they don't like school. When I hear about what my kids do, it sounds so much more exciting than my school life.
September 10th, 2015  
love ly in monochrome...
September 10th, 2015  
Two lovely portraits.
September 10th, 2015  
Nice portraits
September 10th, 2015  
Great shots! I hope the first day stirred some enthusiasm!
September 10th, 2015  
Lovely capture, it's sad they don't enjoy it much, I used to love school too
September 10th, 2015  
Such a shame that they don't enjoy school but I can empathise, I hated it! I decided much later on in life to study so it's never too late. Lovely capture of them both xx
September 10th, 2015  
Wonderful capture- love the recess part of school:):)
September 10th, 2015

Great portraits. Cool kids
September 10th, 2015  
Cool idea! My girls just started grade 8 and 12....kids are growing too fast !
September 10th, 2015  
They may not be overly happy about going back to school but you have taken lovely portrait shots.
September 10th, 2015  
It is a shame that they don't enjoy it. I really like how you've done this.
September 10th, 2015  
too cute, they look so alike, it is amazing. fav
September 11th, 2015  
Lovely processing Kim, hope they come to enjoy their year!
September 11th, 2015  
Nothing beats a back to school image. I loved school so much I never left it! Now semi retired my best working days are when I'm back in school!
September 11th, 2015  
Love how you framed this!
September 11th, 2015  
Great tweaking and back to school shots. They get a nice long summer.
