First Day

Today was filled with lots of first and I am excited for the second, third, fourth, etc.

First Day to a new season in my life.

First Day since beginning of summer both mommy and daddy had to get ready for work.

First Day as a teacher in the same elementary school I grew up in.

























First Day I was Mrs. Moll to twenty first graders.
First Day I felt like my two kids maybe weren't so much trouble.

First full Day with our tempory pet fish, all survived the night.









































And last but certainly not least...First picture with my new camera!!!

Brain Freeze

Today we celebrated the last day of summer vacation. It wasn't a planned or well thought out celebration but instead a combining of errands and simple fun. Yesterday I woke up early jumped in the shower, dressed in a matching outfit and curled my hair. Although these are simple tasks they were things low on my summer priority list. As I drove to a teaching job interview I felt a little nervous, scattered and discombobulated. I reflected on our summer and easy it was for me to leave the work world into the stay at home mom one.

Of course being a mama is work and at times much harder than any other work but it is different. My kids love me whether I have flat dirty hair or volumized strands, sweats or a skirt, they just want to play. It's been a fabulous summer filled with fun, laughs and relaxation. I am so thankful to have had this opportunity but also excited to try something new.

We dropped some more paperwork off to a few schools this morning, played at a wonderful park, shopped at a country store and ate ice cream for lunch. As we pulled into the gravel parking lot where a tiny yet brightly painted building with the name "Brain Freeze" plastered on the front stood Trexen said, "mom this is fun". He was right, it was fun, spending the day with my boys, enjoying the weather and delicious ice cream.
