summer break
The weather was spectacular today and so we decided to go visit one of our favorite places. I can tell that we will soon see many of the plants replaced by Fall beauty…everything was starting to look tired and a bit worn.
It’s hard to believe, but my kids will be returning to school in 2 weeks. Just as we were getting to used to the summer routine, we now will have to adapt to early mornings. I will have to be a bit more organized and deal with missing my kids and husband. Good thing I still have Penelope Tess!
We are trying to fill our days with togetherness and anticipation for school, friends, and new teachers. Ellie and I are also busy planning her 8th birthday party (her party happens to be the first day of school!). She insists on having her party at home (love that!) and making icecream sundaes. We also will have the girls paint their toe nails and make individual homemade pizzas. I know we will have fun. I love the planning, but know that next year we must keep it small. It’s time to take a break.
I love this idea. I’m already beginning to make mental notes for next Spring and summer. Visiting places like the Arboretum could totally make me change my preoccupations- FAST!
I rarely can get a shot of these three together!
