FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL - TIME FOR DONUTS!

Not sure how the tradition got started; but I like it. On the first day of school each year, I take all the kids (and Teresa has started to join in!) to donuts (hopefully with a coupon). A dozen donuts gives 6 of us (Teresa generously refrains) 2 to celebrate (or drown our sorrows in sugar)! It's a nice way to start the school year. I haven't been able to convince Teresa, yet, that this would be a great weekly tradition, but perhaps this will be the year! And of course (especially when my awesome wife is present), there has to be the traditional picture at the donut place, with all 5 kids standing in line, by height of course. Can you guess which 2 of our kids weren't very excited about taking this picture in public (you can't tell by the picture itself)? So, another school year begins, and we thank God for the privilege of sending our children to Christian schools, provided once again by our generous Father. We say a prayer....and then take a bite into that delicious Boston Creme filled delight.....yummmmm!
