day two hundred sixty-two.

I wasn't driving for once and turned around and spotted sweet O snuggling Cutie Panda in the beautiful light. Not sure why on earth my ISO was set so high- so it's grainy but I don't care- I love him and his love for his panda.

Lunch break from school looked something like this. Ellie playing with wipe on flash cards, Dog under the table hoping someone would drop food and Gavin looking up how the oven works while the pizza cooked. You don't see Liam who was trying to kill Evie or Owen who was taking advantage of having the ipad to himself. And Gromit who was probably blissfully asleep somewhere.

260/365

day two hundred sixty.

I've been feeling very un-motivated. Much like him.

    You have to literally drag him outside these days. I guess he just assumes it's still blazing hot (and it is, again- though for a few days the mornings were amazing).
    So anyways- yes, I'm still shooting daily but editing and blogging is on the bottom rung of things I get done lately, right there with anything much above keeping kids alive and fed. I had every intention of getting back into the blogging every day thing, keeping it all updated along with the family blog now that we've moved away from home again.
      I wanted to journal more of our homeschooling days there but in reality, Evie still doesn't sleep through the night- or more than four hours. Liam wakes up once or twice a night too. And while Gavin is easy to homeschool these days, Ellie...is another story, lately convincing her to sit and do her work is like I imagine it would be convincing a cat that it's okay to get in the bathtub. So the reality is just that we are here. Existing and not much else. And for now, that's just going to be good enough.

255/365

day two hundred fifty-five.

The weather was amazing so I worked on the garage (which is still the dumping ground for boxes and unpacked crap). The light eventually became amazing and Owen needed very little bribing to turn his tricycle down the sidewalk...

day two hundred fifty-four.

(super) early delivery of the new washer and dryer meant these two had a blast breaking them in.

He told me they were "so beau-tee-full mama!".

And then tried to stop her from banging on them, before just joining in himself.

Pre-dinner walk. Yeah, it was close to 7pm but I've been off all day long. So I sent them out to play before dinner. And then we all melted. And the kids left the door open and I had to chase Wally through the woods and half the neighborhood. But that light!

249/365

day two hundred forty-nine.

While it's going to be blazing here for at least another month (or more). It still seems like the sun is setting on summer. At least the light is starting to be more fall-like, I'm done with summer so bring on the "cold" weather and changing leaves! (Some day I will live somewhere with a true fall!)

You can tell it's going to be a long day if she already needed a bath at 0730.

day two hundred forty-seven.

friday field trip. I gotta say- I love field trips to the (nearly) empty science museum. Especially on a family day so I had help with all five (though really- it's just one you have to worry about).
