It was a good week.

***********************************************

Although there are a few days of school left,

we are clearly pretending we are on a Summertime schedule

 & I find myslef saying Yes! a lot more.

Yes to quick bike rides at 8:45 pm.

Yes.. raspberries, hummus & pita chips are a suitable dinner.

Yes, you may skip combing your hair today.

Yes! Go play with the hose!

Yes, we can go to the store solely to buy popsicles & ice cream to fill the freezer!

Yes, we can skip our obligations and head to the beach this evening.

SO what if our sink is full of dishes, sand & grass clippings are covering the floor and clean laundry sits in a pile unfolded?

These children are only children for so long and this life can be full & hectic.

So, Yes, I will take off work to attend the last couple field trips of the year

 &

Yes, I will enjoy every. single. minute.

 because 5th & 3rd grade will be over before we know it

and this moment is all we ever have.
