Hey Summer!

Well, it’s here.  Today is the last day of school and summer is officially here.  The big kids have a 1/2 day and the little kids have a full day.  I can’t even believe it.  I am a mix of “woo-freakin-hoo” and “holy #*@% five kids will be home 24 hours a day for 2 months”.  Maybe you can relate 😉

The past two years I’ve ditched first day of school pictures because my brain can’t keep up with remembering ALL THE THINGS, so I’ve opted for just one picture of all three and I must say, I’m quite smitten.

2015/2016

First, what the heck happened to Hudson Kelley?!?!?!  Second, Solomon is going to age amazingly well…I mean…for real.  He will be carded until he’s 75.

So I’m going to have my last 2 1/2 alone hours alone for two months and then I’m grabbing the big kids for lunch with Josh.  We’re going to celebrate because well, it is summer and no matter my internal conflict there’s still something super exciting about the start of summer.  Sun.  The wave pool.  Sleeping in.  Leisurely days and nights.  Bottle after bottle of sunscreen.  Swimming.  Faded bathing suits.  Tan skin.  Feeding children all the live long day.  Movie nights every night.  A summer of possibilities.  It’s going to be grand I just know it.

Happy Wednesday!

    Hey Laura, sometime in the past you posted a picture of a lunch list that you have posted for your kids to make their own lunch. It went something like “veggie, fruit, something crunchy, etc.” I’ve just tried searching your page to find it again. I came across some of the cutest little Amon pics and random sleepers 🙂 Could you post this lunch list pic again if you have it? Trying to help my kids make good lunch choices this summer! Thanks!
