a sweet rain parade
looking out from inside
i love these of my mom!
but i never want to ride a spinny ride ever again!
{a random collection of photo from our time back home}
i wanted to stop in and share a glimpse into our last days of summer vacation.
o' pensive sigh, how quickly it all changes...
however, i absolutely love this time of year, when summer starts to fade just a little and the warm summer air merges with the cooler winds of autumn. the cicadas sing all day and into the night, the sunsets a little earlier, everything seems to slow down just a tiny, tiny bit, and my alarm clock is no longer my children jumping on top of me to get me up, but a blaring awful noise that tells me it's 7 am and time to get my kiddies off to school. yesterday was the first day of school, my heart ached the whole night before and then again the next morning, as i watched my little boy with his new backpack, new shoes & outfit, and new stance head into his classroom. i can still picture him as a little toddler, stumbling down the hall as i took my girl to her first days of kindergarten. i love these memories that are still with me, i hope i can hold on to them forever. i made it out of the classroom before the tears came, when i really just wanted to tuck myself away in his classroom, just for one day?, but i knew i couldn't, i came back to a very, very quiet house, and tried to find my way back into a work routine, anything to keep myself busy. i know i will enjoy the time to work on art and get back into creating daily, but my favorite part of the day will always be seeing their happy faces after school.
