This has been a tough week on the kids. Of course, I am in full celebration mode of having my time back-sorry, but mama needs her time-but for them, it's been an overload of new things; people, places, schedules, things to remember, homework to do, etc. Both girls, back to school all day everyday meant a roller coaster of emotions from excitement and enthusiasm to hesitation and melt-downs. Total brain over-load.
This weekend we just needed a little levity and what better place than our our backyard? Here's how my kids blew off a little steam from the pressure-cooker that is the first week of school.
How did you capture this past week? Hopefully you had a little fun while you were at it. Do share!

What sweet shots. Looks like a great way to unwind!
Here's mine - a trip to the park.
We went to the park, too, but instead of posting a photo of the kids I went with my other favorite: weird flowers!
Here you go!
We had a lot of fun too. although the short week was a big adjustment.
Cheers
they look SO happy together! love that middle shot with half a smile each :).

I love siblings together. There really is no better friendship.
Here's my best shot that I have no idea how to hyperlink (maybe someone can enlighten me?):

Work has been so busy that I had to go back a few weeks to find a picture. I hope to rectify that soon, though.
Here it is.
Your girls are adorable, and I"m glad that you had a nice weekend playing.
we haven't quite had a chance to unwind this week but i managed to snap these cute shots....
looks like fun, tracey!
happy monday, y'all!
They look so happy in each of those moments. I am sure they have forgotten about the first week of school...even for just a little while.
Here's my BSM
we had a long, busy weekend. the little guy was really ready for bed tonight, but not before humoring us a bit more!
Unwinding looks good right about now. :) I love the composition of the half faces.
Here's mine for the week - one boy, one girl...
They look so happy. Hard to believe they had a hard week. Love that last shot.

We had similar weeks, and similar shots for BSM! I especially love the last photo.
Catching our breath for our BSMs today.
These scream "fun!". I love the hair flying in the first shot and the smiley love in the last.
This week we're not so light hearted...Wil has surgery tomorrow...

Oh, that last one is darling! Well after being sick for a week my sweet daughter got to do this!
Have a wonderful week! :)
ooh, those shots of your happy girls are just wonderful! :)
we had some light-hearted fun around here too - on the new tire swing.
Beautiful shots of your children! I just love seeing happy children. We have had a lot of rain here these past few weeks, but I did manage to catch my todd and Jess outdoors in a tranquil moment of relaxation and repose:

I went to a Memorial Dedication but tucked away was a sweet moment that I captured.

My best shot comes from time spent reconnecting with family recently.
What precious pictures! Love these moments.
