Yesterday was our last official day of summer vacation. I had planned to do all these special things to celebrate/send summer off, but of course since I had these big plans the kids sorta had other ones. So we went with the flow instead and just took it easy, trying to relax before King’s first day back at school.
Hashtag: blurred because it’s real life.
Someone is either getting a letter, or someone who used to live here is getting their mail returned to sender.
From where I tried to nap when the kids did, but watched the sun shine and hide behind the clouds instead.
After nap Harlow.
“Come on guys, let’s go it really really stinks here”
He picked out and set out his own first day of school clothes, and “encouraged” Harley to do the same.
The last stand before bedtime, those millions questions to hopefully distract me from the time. I’m on to him
AND one from this morning.
He was running to get there, it was hard to snap a pic and barely even said good bye (wahhh!!). Harlow and I on the other hand were all welled up with tears, and then we got treats to cure our sad missing our boys hearts. Bittersweet moments, they grow up too fast just look at last year.

Yesterday I 100% followed King’s lead on where we headed, we ended up walking almost 9km and for almost 6 hours in total – our feet were tired but our faces had big smiles on them. Here are a few scenes I captured along the way.
^^Hold up your umbrellas!^^
^^Sprinklers are public property, says the kids^^
^^Stroller catnap^^
^^He loves to window shop and people watch, he is my son.^^
^^Stroller hair + Sandwich break – I am that Mom who always packs lunches^^
^^After a craft and story time break at a bookstore, someone drifted off to snoozetown.^^
^^When I had to tell him, how nervous him being crazy close to the water makes me – because worrying is like my second job, apparently.^^
^^When I noticed she worry’s about him too (and she didn’t even hear our conov, she was sleeping).^^
^^King and his camera obsession strike again^^
^^New book and quiet time by request.^^

Tree climbing lessons turned into a “no girls allowed”, tree.
Oh you know, just making sure that evening bath is super worthwhile.
The very careful smelling of flowers, as she side eyes the bee’s buzzing around.
Caught Chris gramming, sorta.
Now that’s a well loved water bottle, and a thirsty tired boy.
My poorly timed dentist appointment, turned into a surprise day off for Chris (surprise for us, not work). It was a nice mid week break, almost felt like the weekend – which made this morning feel a little like a Monday, worth it!

^Hanging Wall of Balloons
^Birthday rainbow pancakes
^First ever nail painting session was an extra special one (I snuck an iPhone pic in there, was all I had to capture that cute memory)
^Race to the subway
^The wind worked hard at blowing us right over
^Stop at the candy store, for 1 item each (her scoop was not that big, though she tried)
^So excited to have candy, who needs to eat it.
I snapped some memories from my girls third birthday yesterday. We try to make birthday’s special from morning till night, also we haven’t jumped on the birthday party ship yet – mostly since we don’t have a lot of family around to invite. Basically we shoot to make each moment a birthday event, even if it means just giving it a special name for the day (birthday tantrums, are special right?).
