First Day of School ~ 2016
Happy 1st Day of School!
Let me introduce you to…
(drumroll please)
The Little Miss Kindergartner
The Little Mister Pre-K(er)
and for the first time ever,
The Little Sir Preschooler!
Okay, okay, so the Little Miss actually started school in August.
And the Little Sir doesn’t officially start until tomorrow.
But whatev, we’re unorthodox like that. Out of the box. Bonafide Picture-Taking REBELS, even.
Or…maybe just lazy. And a wee bit disorganized.
Oh, and if you’re wondering…
Yes, the Little Mister is always kooky like this.
And our household is ALWAYS insane. And loud.
As I’ve shared before, I’m basically raising a troop of monkeys.
I think the Little Sir may be the only one of us who is not totally off his rocker. Which is good, because someone’s gotta pay the bills and change our diapers one day.
And so to all of our Fellow Parent Sojourners our there, traveling with us on this wild and overwhelming journey we like to call “School,” (and just trying to hold on for dear life), we wish you well!
And we hope that all of your Little (Scholar) Monkeys keep you laughing as much as ours do.
Or at least that they don’t drive you totally bananas.
Yeah, that’d work too.
Happy Mother’s Day ~ 2016!
HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY
to all the sweet mamas out there!
I am so deeply grateful for these three Littles, plus one more who we’ll meet in heaven one day, who made me a Mama. Being their Mom is the greatest honor and the most important role of my life.
Thanks to the kids’ preschool, I was able to enjoy a whole week of Mother’s Day festivities. They kicked things off with class parties and homemade presents…

And then a field trip to pick berries at the strawberry farm!
In years past it has been crazy hot on our strawberry farm days, so we were grateful for the cooler weather that hit Durham this week. As you may recall, my Littles were not made for hot manual labor. And so armed with the (non-sweaty) resolve to actually pick a few strawberries this year, my Littles grabbed their containers and put on their game faces…
Here’s the Hyper-Ecstatic Game Face
(No kidding folks, this Little Miss sprinted up and down every row in the entire farm, all in search of the reddest, ripest berries)
The Bewildered Game Face
(The Little Mister picked berries like a champ, but all the while was more concerned about the location of his beloved Henrietta the Cow and Farmer Mark’s crazy flying chickens)
And finally the Let’s Get Down to BIZ-NESS Game Face
(Now I know this Little One picked a few berries, but all of them mysteriously never made it into any of our containers…)
Oh, and did I mention that Nena and Pops came to the farm too?!? We put ’em straight to work.
Pops got the extra special job of getting to chase the wild Little Miss all over the farm and try to keep her from falling into a ditch. Oh, and pick some strawberries too.
And then Pops got the job of making sure that none of the Littles fell into the nearby pond. Ain’t he a lucky chap?
And yes, my children are SPIRITED…and then some.
Here’s evidence of the Little Sir’s strawberry picking shenanigans. I think we can confidently charge Nena with aiding and abetting.
So there you have it, folks…our Mother’s Day (err…week) extravaganza. It was pretty exhausting but also a whole lot of fun.
Here’s hoping your Mother’s Day is filled with fun and love (and, Lord help us, maybe a nap?!) as well!!! Happy Mother’s Day!
