15 Sep Light-Hearted Best Shots
This has been a tough week on the kids. Of course, I am in full celebration mode of having my time back-sorry, but mama needs her time-but for them, it’s been an overload of new things; people, places, schedules, things to remember, homework to do, etc. Both girls, back to school all day everyday meant a roller coaster of emotions from excitement and enthusiasm to hesitation and melt-downs. Total brain over-load.
This weekend we just needed a little levity and what better place than our our backyard? Here’s how my kids blew off a little steam from the pressure-cooker that is the first week of school.
How did you capture this past week? Hopefully you had a little fun while you were at it. Do share!
