friday was annie's last day of afternoon kindergarten.
our morning times together will be over.
she is a big girl now.
i will miss her at home with me.
and having one more kid to get ready in the morning will be crazy.
we spent our last day at the nursery picking out some fun pumpkins.
life goes on.
Logan - I’m behind on my reading after being out of town all week last week with a sick mother. I LOVE the pumpkin pictures. Good job with the photography.
crystal beutler - I lovvvvvvvvve these pics. There’s just something about big orange pumpkins that makes me melancholy. I need to get myself to a pumpkin patch.
Four Flights - beautiful pictures. I like the one with warts all over it 🙂
So do they do afternoon for a period of time, and then switch to mornings? Interesting…
Heather R. - I blinked…they grew. hugs.
Mindy Harris - Annie has a frosty! My guilty pleasure.
carols - Awww…a new chapter is going to start. I like the comment that each stage brings wonderful memories. (though, some of these teen adventures I could do without). It’s all part of the big plan. Annie is a happy kid, and I know you have a lot to do with that Meg. Keep doing it!!
Kelle - Love. I miss a good cool fall. And, I always have to laugh at the “warty” pumpkins.
Becky @ Farmgirl Paints - I know it’s sad. A new chapter starting. But trust me you will love it. Gorgeous pumpkin pics. I learn so much from you. I need to zoom in alot more to take better pics.
Melanie - Now you will have the whole day to yourself. Enjoy it. It will fly by.
Sarah@Clover Lane - Happy Belated Birthday and great pumpkin pics. You will keep busy all day, I know you will. That’s the best rememedy I think, for scraping yourself off the floor…at least that’s my plan.
Gemma - Great Pumpkins! So sad that it was the last day of all those memories but soon enough it will become the norm.

Diana - No way! We were there picking out some cute pumpkins today, too! My fave are the Turks Turban. And a couple beautiful mauve mums. So pretty.
I will refrain from telling you how fast time will now fly. Nope, not gonna go there. You didn’t hear it from me. 😛 LOL!
No. 17 Cherry Tree Lane - What a great last morning together! 🙂
Katie - I love Grace’s comment!
Heather - Freaky pumpkins! I’m going to miss Annie at home with you, too! I love watching her grow :o) she’s so cute! I hope you’ll still take lots of pictures of her – you know, doing homework and things ;o).
Flower Patch Farmgirl - “What did I miss here? Why is she done already with afternoon kindergarten?” she wondered aloud.
Nikki - So sad… my little Ezra started full time school this year and I’ve been lost all year 🙁
The pumpkin sign is very cute.
Sandra K - I was wondering why she’s done with afternoon kindergarten, too..is she switching to morning kindergarten or an all day program? Is this something your school does to ease the transition?
Grace - I used to get upset when my daughter was a baby—not wanting her to get any bigger, because I thought she was so perfect then.
And then she grew. And continues to grow. And while I tear up remembering different milestones, I can’t imagine not knowing who she is now.
What a wonderful gift, to live in every moment and see the people that God is creating our children to be.
Glad you were able to have that one-on-one morning time with Annie. She seems like a special girl. 🙂
jen - IS she going into full day kindergarten? Do they ease them into it by starting them at half day? Interesting. I think it’s for the kids AND their parents. :o)
Selina - What gorgeous rich colours!
Tara - what a wonderful time! i love how you captured all those textures!! just wanted to let you know that today i used one of your Thursday crafts with a group of girls from a slum in my city in the Southern Hemisphere. Thanks for the idea….I keep checking back for more. 🙂 http://www.missionurban.org/blog/2010/10/02/crafts-with-the-girls/
amber - great shots! did you make her shirt? it is darling
Valerie@Chateaualamode.typepad.com - Awww…that post tugs at my heartstrings. My youngest had her last day of afternoon kindergarten nine (?) years ago and you know sometimes it still makes me sad, but I will tell you that each new chapter brings with it new, wonderful memories. I love your positive attitutde.
AshleyAnn - Well it was a good attempt at a happy post with all those beautiful pictures…but it made me sad…for both of you. But then happy for both of you too. Awesome job at making the most of that day!
ali - It’s hard – but nice to have a great day together to remember! And those pumpkins were awesome.
Christina - What a fun day together. I love her shirt!
Changes are hard…but good for us, no? I don’t like them at all, but, as you say, life goes on. 🙂 They have to grow…but so do I! haha I bet she’ll be full of stories for you each day.
Sharla - dadadadada life goes on (love the pumpkin pics and now I’m going to be singing all day – thanks!)
julia - Some pumpkins are truly terrifying.
I’m going to be boo-hoo-ing big time next year.
Dana D@BoysMyJoys - Such a fun day together!
I bet Annie is so excited!
And after a few days, you’ll probably enjoy it a lot too!
You are right, life does go on… such a positive way to think of it!
linda lou - beautiful fall colors what beauty you have found in your photos …………blessings, lindalou
Susan - I love the pumpkins, the colors and the nursery. I can’t wait to get in the full swing of Fall. I’m putting up my Fall decorations today while enjoying our apple cider and pumpkin spice cookies.
I thought I was going to be an emotional wreck when my youngest started school full time, now I just find myself giddy with the thought of the things that I can do without having to leave in an hour to go pick someone up. Is that selfish?
Art Cant Hurt - the names of the pumpkins in the photo made me smile!
special memories you’re making. life moves forward whether
we want to push the pause button to enjoy it longer or not.
take care! xoxo
