A few moments out of a lifetime of moments

Just when I thought the summer was a wash of meetings and deadlines and children screaming at each other because "you're looking at me!" but "no, you're looking at me!" .... we've had a few surprises.

Like this from Here's-your-one-chance-Fancy-don't-let-me-down. (And, yes, we did sing The Circle of Life as the Mountain Man ate his first egg from our backyard):


And finding Bella with blue, purple, and peach tiger stripes (somebody found her mother's rarely used makeup):


And this moment of pure summer lovin' for my Javinator:


Summer is just a few months in a year, a few hot and sticky and busy months that require more juggling and patience from me. And that's okay.

    Don't get me sad that summer is ending. Sigh. Okay, I'm sad. It's gonna go. And I'll be left with that feeling that I didn't do enough, didn't make enough moments for my kids to hold on to.

    But if I'm smart enough, I'll look back at my !!! posts and remember...remember that the moments are there whether I make them or not. And, for the 100 photos I've captured there were a thousand more that went by without a camera pointed to take notice.

    My oldest spent the morning screaming because his sister dared follow him around our house. Our house is tiny, there really wasn't many other places she could go. Good times. I keep reminding myself that school starts on Monday. Starts on Monday...

    Damn. "Circle of Life" is now stuck in my head. Damn. Damn. Damn. Wait...hold on a sec...no, it's still there. Damn.

    PS: Bella makes a lovely tiger.

    Ah, little girls and makeup--they just can't resist! Glad Fancy is earning her keep! Every time you post chicken pictures, I grin at the screen like a dork.

    Love the makeup moment and you are right - summer is just a few months a year. It is a time of exuberance and the kids seem to be radiating, the smiles never coming off their faces.
