Today my oldest starts her journey into Grade Four so here’s the obligatory Wordless Wednesday photo to commemorate the event.
Grade Four? How’d that happen?
While I’ll miss the busy yet lazy days of Summer, I think we all could use a little routine again. Wait, is it too early to start the countdown until I don’t have to make school lunches again? Too soon?
Also, I kind of had a huge back to school fail. What have I done?!

Oh my, this is how we find the years pass us by! Don’t start counting those days yet a Tammi – only count the minutes in each of the days till you hear how her day went… &*> YAM xx
Renae says
Cute photo! I swear my parents never ever thought to take a photo of me when embarking on a new school year. I survived. LOL I love the way your generation is much more thoughtful, and …the pictures are more immediate now too. Man I sound OLD! ..well, I am.
Judy C (Cowan) says
Hope she had a great first day back at school!
Sophia says
I hope she has a wonderful year. It’s not too soon to start counting down. I already can’t wait until Summer. I didn’t get to spend enough time with my babies.

Gr. 4 already?! Geez, they are growing way too fast…
Karly says
Bah ha ha yes, blame Pinterest! It is ALWAYS Pinterest’s fault in my house ha ha ha! Though twenty years from now you should be able to tease her about the way she always brought up the cake incident!
Tammi says
Yes, and I shall do just that, especially when she’s ordering one for her own kids. KARMA baby!!
😉

Lisa@RandomActsOfZen says
Gorgeous little possum! We have only 2 weeks left in this term, before 2 weeks holiday, then the last term of school, before our big 8 week Christmas/Summer holiday. I’ve already started counting! 🙂
Tammi says
Ahhh, that would be nice. Can I just country hop to take advantage of all the holidays? please?
🙂
Olivia @ This West Coast Mommy says
We’re starting preschool on Thursday! Eek!
Tammi says
Hope it went well today!!!
Emily @ Have a laugh on me says
Hi Tammi (via Trish’s WW)
This year is the first my daughter has started school and it’s very hard!
I have two boys, younger, to go through it, hopefully I’ll be an old hand by then!
Emily 🙂
Tammi says
I’m sure you’ll be a pro by then, the first is always the hardest!!
Lisa Wood says
Down under {In Australia} we don’t have summer holidays as such, only Christmas Holidays which go for about 6 weeks and then there are 2 week holidays three times a year – broken up through out the year.
I really like the idea of a “Summer Holiday” where you get to have time off in one big lot…..and yes Grade 4 – they sure do grow up way too fast. Hope she has a wonderful time – oh I so can’t stand making sandwiches!!!
Tammi says
I like the idea of many smaller ones I think. Takes the pressure off the Summer holidays and needing to squeeze it all in at once. Grass is greener, right?
posh says
They just grow up way too fast if you ask me 🙂
Tammi says
WAY TOO FAST!!!!
.. I sound like my Mother but I now know why!
Amy B says
The summers go way too fast don’t they? She looks great and ready!
Tammi says
She had a fantastic first day!
Kayla Potega says
She looks ready and raring to go back!
Tammi says
Let’s hope this enthusiasm stays!
alex says
so cute! mine started yesterday :sniff sniff: how do they grow up so quickly?
Tammi says
Awe, hope it was a great day for all though. Chin up!!
Carla says
My little guy started grade four too! So exciting!
Tammi says
Ahhh, another Grade 4. I think 3 was really tough, curriculum wise. Someone told me it was the ‘hardest’ of the Elementary years, would you agree?
orangeheromama says
Aww Tammi, I hear ya..my ‘BABY’ is turning 9 today and just started gr 4….but on the other hand by other ‘BABY’ is turning 13 next month and in gr 8…I am crying I tell ya..crying!! it goes TOOOOOOOO fast!

Tracy @ Ascending Butterfly says
Happy WW, thanks for the linky, I linked up! Your DD looks happy for the first day of school!
Tammi says
Thanks Tracy!
Andrea B. says
What a sweet pic! My daughter is in grade 4 as well. Time flies!
Tammi says
Sure does!!
Andrea Emilien says
I have one in 5th grade this year and I wonder every second how that happened. 🙂
Tammi says
Grade 5 .. that just seems a lot older than Grade 4 to me. Like, A lot.
Ahhh, more panic attacks!!!
Annaleis from Teapots and Tractors says
So cute! But getting so big.
Alicia - One Mother Hen says
I would be counting down the days to holidays again!! But kids grow so fast already, it’s like wishing your life away, catch 22 🙂
Tammi says
So true!! I try not to do that but it’s almost unavoidable isn’t it?
Trish says
She looks happy to be going that is a great way to start G4
Victoria Ess says
What a darling! Great photo!
Jay @CraftySpices says
How fast time go by… Soon she will going to college.. sniff sniff
Sorry that I’m a day late… Thank you for linking to our Wordless Wednesday Hop
kewkew says
They grow way too fast. Hope she is enjoying her new school year.
Anne Taylor says
Kids grow up way to fast. One day my girls were in elementary and the next day they were in their 20’s. It honestly goes by in a blink of an eye when you come to look back on it. Your daughter is beautiful, I’m sure she’ll have a great grade 4!
Kat E. says
I remember Grade 4 as one of the best years in Elementary for me! Hope she has a wonderful year!
Vera says
….we got to spend time together this summer….I was sad when school started. Could have used a couple more weeks.
Soozle says
Oh wow! Grade 4?! Isn’t it crazy how time flys? She’s growing into such a beautiful girl! Hope the school year is treating her well so far!
