27 August A milestone- My baby girl's first day of school!Well, my baby girl stepped onto the school bus for her first day of school this morning and I didn't know if I should laugh or cry. Her big brother promises he'll take good care of her and make sure she isn't afraid and gets to her classroom without any problems. She has an extra set of clothes, Just in case, her favorite crackers for snack, a pencil box full of pencils and crayons, brand new sneakers, and a pocket full of big girl confidence. It's like watching a little catterpillar turn into a beautiful butterfly right before your eyes. I can see she's cast off her "baby" identity and fully embraced her "big girl" persona. Last night, she told me she wants to destroy her Nickname, Baby, because it no longer fits who she is. I've watched her go from a tot to an independent girl full of self confidence and a new found maturity. In some ways, it surprises me that she realizes her identity has changed so much in such a short time, but in some ways it doesn't. Only a few months ago she was sure she wasn't ready to write her name, and now, I have page after page of her name scrawled out in her budding handwriting. This morning, I truely had to face the fact that I no longer have a "baby" at home. My beautiful daughter finds casting off her baby self so much easier than I do. She tried to make me promiss not to call her "Baby" again. I can't promiss that I won't ever call her "Baby", but I did promiss to try not to do it so often. She will, after all, always be my baby girl. 26 August Sunflowers in the morning
I took this picture in the morning, before the mist burned off. Thought it made a nice reference photo. :) Sparky Pup is getting big and he's got personality.
"This is unfair treatment! Who's in charge?! Let me talk to the complaint department! I have Rights, you know!" LOL Well, the puppy is hitting that puberty stage and likes the girls. He wasn't happy about it, but he was getting a little too friendly with my Brother-In-Law's pretty beagles. It's probably about time to get him fixed, but he's such an eye catching dog... LOL Have to wonder what his pups would look like. The neighbor's female dog isn't fixed though. I think she'd eat him before she'd let him near her, but I'm not keen on finding out for sure. Neighbors can't understand why I won't let him off leash when we're outside. Ha! He'd dig up flowers, run over the kids, chase the local cats, and find every girl within a mile radius. Not to mention, he's fond of trash and doesn't consider it offensive to roll on dead worms. He just needs constant reminders at this point, to be good. For the most part, he's great. :) My fat dog squashed my camera!We took the kids and the dogs camping this weekend, which was sort of fun. More fun for them than for me. I discovered that I'm not quite as young as I used to be. LOL Just getting hard to sleep on the lumpy ground.
Unfortunately, on the way home, my dog stepped on my camera and broke the screen on it. Now I can still take pictures, I just have no idea what they look like until I load them on to my computer. That's not going to work out very well for me. I still have artwork that needs to get photographed!!!! Right now, a new camera is near the bottom of my "I need" list. Need to focus on getting the house buttoned up for winter before I go and get another camera. A new camera would be great, don't get me wrong... LOL It's just bad timing, with school starting tomorrow. I want to take pictures of my littlest's first day of school, which I will. I'm just going to have to guess about it and pray I don't accidentally cut the top of her head off in the pictures.
I feel like I'm starting a new chapter in my life. :) My baby is no longer a baby! Wow. I may be starting a new job soon (part time) and I'm seriously thinking about going back to school, myself. It's kind of hard, though. I've been "Mommy" for so long, it's really going to be a shock to have the kids out of the house for most of the day. They will be fine, I'm just not sure how I'm going to handle it. LOL 09 August It's been a busy week!It's been a busy week for me! It rained pretty much all week, so I didn't get out as much as I would have liked to. But, I had so much to to do for my husband's new business ( Matt's Electronic Hookups - Serving North Central Maine ) and other stuff, I've been practically out straight anyway. I've been working on my website, trying to get it all updated with new works. It's been raining so much I haven't been able to get good pictures of new works. Have had just a touch of sun this morning, but not enough for me to trust my work under the sky. LOL There's a big nasty cloud out there! Thunder showers are in the forcast for the next who knows how long.... LOL Days anyway. I've updated the blog a bit. Having a big summer sale right now.
