Scenes from summer.

We are surviving summer.
The weekly schedule is causing STRESS (we have had to stray from it about every single day).
The daily schedule is saving me from descending into mean mom.
Thinking that we need to go the dry erase marker route with the weekly one.  Except I just don't have it in me to go to Costco right now.  Or the laminating store.  I just do not.
The kids are happiest if the day involves outside and water.  So we have been outside and in the water nearly every second of every day.  I am already on the fourth bottle of sunscreen.
These are the moments I hope they remember when they look back on their childhoods.
Because their childhoods are pretty dang rad.

    Great pics! I'm guilty of always saying "smile for the camera" and taking a posed shot....but your pics remind me that there is beauty in perspective and capturing the moment. Keep up the good work, mama...both in summer fun and photography!!!!!

    Water, sunscreen, outside. Yes, yes, and yes.

    And I bet they'll remember. It's too good not to.

    Putting paper into a clear page protector = instant dry erase sheets! It's how we roll in Canada :)
