P52 Week 26 - School's Out

School is out, but around here that means we do more school work at home than usual. And it's not me, Jordan loves to work in his workbooks when he's not in school. Let's hope this continues when actual Kindergarten starts in the fall. I took some pictures of his little desk for this week. I think I'll better understand what "School's Out" means next year...

I did the math today and realized that we only have 52 days left until the start of real school, and only two more weeks where we'll be off, just the two of us, for our Wednesday and Thursday time. :( How did my baby grow up so fast!!

Check out how everyone else interprets this week's theme over at Kent Weakly's blog.

P52 Week 25 - Fathers

In our house, Father's Day weekend means The US Open golf tournament. It's watched all day Sunday, in between baseball games of course. 

I grabbed these shots of the boys enjoying some father/son time during the day.

P52 Week 24 - Sunlight

So, I'll be honest, this week got away from me. I had a slammed packed week, and I'm getting ready to head on vacation next week, so planning for that as well.

I was hoping the sunset tonight would give me some good opportunities for a sunlight shot, but with the rain we've been having it was so cloudy.

But I will say this. I'm proud I took a picture. I thought about using a past shot from a few weeks ago, but that's not the challenge. The point is to take a new picture, each week, to theme. So while it might not be the best shot I could have gotten, I still got it in, and I'm happy with that this week.

I'm also happy that this coming week's theme is fathers. It will make it easy to get a picture in early so I don't have to think about P52 while I fill up my memory cards with pictures of the Tennessee mountains later on in the week. Vacation here we come!

P52 Week 23 - Water

This week when I think of water, I think of rain. It's been raining for days. Nothing too strong, but just steady and often. This has been the view of the front for the past few days.

 It keeps us holed up inside so we have to get creative with things to do. I don't want to lose my mind. (For all of you with more than one child, just let me say it now, God bless you!) On Wednesday we pulled out Jordan's tent and set it up in the living room. He loves playing in there. He tells spooky stories to his stuffed animals and pretends he's having a sleepover. 

Even the dogs seem down when it rains. Abby gets super nervous, so she follows us around the house and then  wherever Abby goes, Shelby must follow. Since they just got groomed recently, I gave them some time on the couch to help them relax.

 While I do enjoy the rain from time to time, it's time for it to move on now and bring back the sunshine.

P52 Week 22 - Playtime

With a crazy summer schedule starting, and then Kindergarten right around the corner, my days of play with Jordan are quickly coming to an end. So, I'm determined to make the most of the few we have left.

This week on Thursday we headed to a nearby park for some playtime in the water fountains they have there. And having water to play in around this time of year is a good thing, because you know how you spell hot? F-L-O-R-I-D-A.

Here are some of my favorite pics from the day.
