This has been my mantra the past few weeks. As a mother with young children, summer is a little too L-O-N-G. I’m not going to lie and say I was sad when it was back to school time. But, at the same time, I do want to treasure and remember that I won’t be a mother of young children for long. As much as I don’t think so in the times of whining, drawing on my walls, tantruming, and sand on my floors, I AM going to miss this. So, maybe this post is just for me today, but I choose to see these pictures as a joy rather than a burden because one day, far down the road, when I’m sending my daughters off to prom, sending my son off to Texas A&M ;-), or maybe sitting alone in a quiet house (which I’m doing right now-ALLELUIA!), I am going to miss this.

| my living room on any given day (we call it ‘the pit’ these days) |
 |
| my porch on any given day (there is about that much sand scattered throughout my
floors too if I were ever to sweep it up!) |
 |
| My couch where Asher sits and eats his snacks. Don’t worry, I’ll brush the crumbs off
before you come over to visit! |
 |
| We’ve had a couple of these episodes lately. Fortunately, Asher used chalk and not
sharpie markers. So I made him clean it up with a wipe, (which hindsight might of been too much fun for him and encourage him to do this again!) |
And just for fun, I’m for sure going to miss this! (Because in a couple of years Asher won’t be caught dead playing with Prince Charming and Prince Eric! At least I hope so!)
