flashback friday: school days

a while back i found this little gem while going through a box from my parents house.  it's been hanging on our fridge for a while & has been the cause of many laughs among guests in our house.  it's ok, i can take it.  i fully embrace the awkward pre-teen years of my life.  that's why i'm sharing it with the blogosphere.

i will say that i think kindergarten through third grade was good to me.  i was a cute little kid, right? except for the fact that i felt the need to cut my bangs by myself the night before pictures every year.  my mom loved me for that one.  sorry mom.

we won't get into discussion about my fourth through sixth grade pictures.  although the word "dork" does come to mind.

i think sam was a pretty cute little kid too.  

for the record, he still makes this face.

of course he had his awkward pre-teen years too, but i'll spare him the posting of those pictures.  however, there's one word i can't keep in... that word is, "mullet."  ok, i've said too much.
