these pictures . . .
i know there are too many
i have a hard time choosing less
but these pictures make it look like our first day of summer was good.
don’t be fooled.
but these moments were good.
so they will remember those right?
not the long time-outs
and the chores they hate.
i hope so.
after piano lessons we got Sonic
yum.
then we went to the park.
i laid a blanket in the grass.
had my magazine all ready.
i was going to relax.
within minutes they were gone all the way across the field to the creek.
they asked permission but it was one by one till it was just annie and i
and she really wanted to go!
can’t be left out of anything.
so we went too.
exploring in the sunshine . . .
it was just so pretty.
they were too brave for me.
even annie begged long enough to “go swimming” and i let lauren and scott take her in … to wade her feet.
it made for nice pictures.
with all the rain the water was flowing nicely.
they all got very wet.
lauren and scott were hunting for creatures.
they found a water snake!!
but she couldn’t catch it.
thank goodness.
then suddenly the fun was over.
everyone was done.
no reason just . . . bored?
we went home and our bad day continued.
bummer.
but it’s only day #1
it can only get better.
any great creative ideas for some fun with my kids?
and wait till you see the bathroom art project.
lauren drew some amazing stuff.
she surprised me. . .
how talented she really is.
not bragging just proud.
so maybe that is bragging?
whatever.
it’s late.
i need sleep.
without dreams of ants coming out of every crack in my house.
the refrigerator was covered with ants in my dream – inside and out. how sick is that?
i even got out of bed in the night and turned on the light because the dreams seemed too real.
so i need better sleep tonight!
