First Days...

This was my mother's tradition - our first day of school on the front porch. I don't think I minded when I was little. But when I was a Senior in high school I protested. I am pretty sure that year I am sitting in the doorway with a frown - going "really mom, this is so embarrassing!"

But now my sister gets to do it with my precious neice and nephew. Aren't they great. Jensen started later than Bailyn did. Thus the photo with him in Batman jammies his Batman pose, and blankie in hand.

They went fishing for the first time a couple weeks ago and my sister sent these. Bailyn had a Barbie fishing rod and felt the need to accessorize with 12 bractlets. She loves braclets. Renee mentioned that Bailyn also fell in the water! I am sure they were hilarious.

And while Brett and I truly enjoyed the long weekend, coming back to work is depressing. I don't want to work anymore. I quit. I like sitting at home, and doing nothing. Absolutely nothing. It sucks to have to wake up again and go to work! Anyone else feel like that? I want to do what I want. But I don't know what that is either? Maybe be a CSI, but it would have to be just like it is on TV. And I want more vacation. I think the Europeans have it right - they vacation all the time.
