We have been having the perfect weather. It is like November is trying hard to make up for June, July, September and October all in two weeks. We are taking as much advantage of this great weather as possible. Which included an after school photo shoot with my kids and a few others. The light was just right and the kids were all in a great mood. If only we could keep this mood going right through the wintertime.
Thankfully both my kids were in a loving mood for the photo shoot. Somedays they are the most perfect brother and sister, other days they are not. I think I captured a perfect day here.
Tomorrow, I will be dressing up as Princess Leia and taking J to a dance.
Man I love that boy.
The last month has just flown by and I have so many stories to share. But, the biggest thing occupying my mind right now is the fact that J is going back to school. And not just wimpy half day Kindergarten where they get to play and play and play some more. This is the real deal.
Tonight marked a milestone for me, I made J’s first lunch for school. I am sure there is way too much in his lunch box, but I would be just devastated if he were at all hungry during the day. Our school is part of the balanced school day program. Instead of two recesses with snack and one lunch break they have two longer nutrition breaks. One around 10am and the other around 1pm. So J has basically two lunches. I tried to cover all the food groups in addition I baked his favourite oatmeal cookies, a little love from Mama.
Tomorrow morning will mark milestones for both J and I. He will be gone all day long, learning from somebody else. A big deal for both of us and poor little Apple, what is she going to do without her brother all day long? I am guessing that tomorrow will be a long, long day.
