Yesterday was our first day of school for the year. Perhaps it was yours, too. Typically, our first days are glowing and wonderful — except for the part where my children fight me about taking photos. That always drives me batty.
But seriously, what’s not to like about going out to get a treat first thing in the morning? That is the only way to kick off a new school year, of course.
Yesterday morning was a little bumpy. Q-Age-Seven had one of her notorious nosebleeds, which set us back about an hour in our schedule. {Good thing we’re learning to be flexible.} And then, naturally, the camera broke.
To the children’s great delight.
Eventually, we did manage to get things together and leave the house. We borrowed a camera and headed to the park for an attempt at good photos. We read some. We ate sugary things.
A good day.
Typically, it’s the second day that is full of challenges. All the newness has worn off {already!}, and Sin rears its ugly head.
Last year, I wrote a post about that, and I thought I’d share it again this year, because I needed to read it again, and I thought maybe you did, too.
Here’s to a great third day.
