First Days
First Days are always hard. First days of school fit that category. Tough for everyone. But it's the hard things that make us stronger right?
Funny I would say that right after talking about spending more time together? Well -- balance. And sometimes what we need is not at home. More on that tomorrow.
But here we are on another first day for many kiddos {not for us -- Peter starts on the 6th}. And most of us would rather be doing something else.

Some would rather be outside. {I donated the mop. Involuntarily. Oh well, it was old.}

Some would rather be eating bananas. {He's been eating 3 or 4 each day!}
