Happy Friday 8/5/22

Daphne just turned 5 and we debated whether to send her to kindergarten on time or not, but she’s excited to go and ready to ride the school bus with her brothers so off she’ll go. We’re shopping for a backpack (one that will last!) and lunch pail and water bottle and we’re all excited for her. A few of our favorites so far…
