First Day of School 2016

Such a sad beginning of the year this has been for me. Both boys are in school every single day (Carson only half days, but still) and it is like the end of a season in my life. So, I'm not going to whine a lot here, or vent through all the craziness in my head (I'm no longer needed...my boys are in school all day...I have no purpose in life anymore...)

I'll just leave you with a few pictures from start of school. And go cry myself to sleep.

He dropped the frame and broke the glass out. I was tired, stressed, emotional, and lost it. Yelled at the poor child for a simple accident-- not one of my finer parenting moments. He was fine after an apology and tight hug...I still replay the 2 minute episode in my head while I am trying to go to sleep at night. Mom guilt is hard.

No great school pics of Carver this year. But we did have homemade donuts. So there is that.

A little treat for the first day of school (after pick-up in the afternoon).

He adores school.

Shout out to Amanda for the shirt. Love. 

Car line selfie.

Make-your-own ice cream sundaes to celebrate surviving the first week of school.

Kind of a scary face. But the excitement is real.
