To .... Leftover Phone Pictures -

Saturday.
There are hot muffins on the stove.
Really there are just a few left after the kids discovered them.
They chose breakfast outside this morning - in their fort.

I'm playing the same song over & over, while laundry washes & pictures upload.

It's about time for a post.
Instagram was not meant to be a blog :)

I sat in the car & let the tears gush watching this.
His first day of preschool.

This lady isn't actually our grandma ... but she loves us like one & we love her like one & so it all works out nicely.
Especially for us.

Jr High is a whole new world.
In so many different ways.

She is one of my very favorite people ever.
Ever.

He smiled & asked for his picture to be taken.

They begged me to buy them all sport coats.
I was t.h.i.s close to saying yes.

I should publish a book .....
I would buy it.

She's a good aunt.
Regan has no skills in hair styling.
At all.

Way back on the day we packed my in laws house into a u-haul.

She didn't think is was nearly as funny as I did.
Hil.ar.ious.
And she got it to fit.

Girlfriends since always.

She likes certain subjects better than others :)

Going through security at the airport I was stopped because I had not one but two pocket knives in my purse.
I was not thinking about flying .... I was only thinking about meeting Jack.
Don't try going through security with knives .... 3 days after the the anniversary of 9/11.

Another public service announcement .... home improvement stores are genius at convincing you your home needs improvement.

It was her last smile before braces ....

His & my picks on room decor :)

I love everything about the way she mothers.

I make a point to say yes every time she invites me to sit on her back porch.

He was 'talking' to his Sunday School teacher, Mr Ivan.
He was showing me his scooter from the grandpa that moved away.
He was a pirate soldier on the look out.

History comes to life when you're nine & have an imagination & free time after school.
