a day in the life.

what's a mama to do when she's got the day to herself?

with nothing to do but get ready for this?

 

 

well, whatever she wants, of course. :)

 

 

 

 

 

 

ended a pretty good day with a pretty good night with this guy.

 

 

now bring on the sun and sand.

 

hello homeschool!

Exhausted and encouraged.

That about sums up our first day of homeschool for me.

We've got a few bumps to smooth out but today was a good day for our little family.

I love our first day pictures and how they differ a bit from years past.

No new outfits picked out by Mom, no back packs, no shoes.

But excitement and smiles remain for what lies ahead.

We kicked our day off with a scavenger hunt... just because we could.

A few other highlights were finally being able to break open the new math toys,

snuggling up in the living room listening to Charlotte's Web and attending Hayes' lego class. :)

Here's to a great year of Kindergarten and 3rd grade!

a day in the life of...

Today has been one of those laid-back kinda days.

One with the calm that was meant for us rather than the craziness of packed schedules we find ourselves in.

It felt good. I want more days like today.

Glimpses of our day today in photos. My friend, Allison does something like this and I just love how pictures throughout an ordinary day can say so much.

It was a little more work than I thought it would be... and I got in trouble when I snapped a picture at the bank drive-thru. Apparently, there are security issues. Oops.

Doing this also made me look at the day in a completely different light. Searching for the little beauties in the day that I typically take for granted.
