last day of school

feeling a bit fragile today.  not sure what it is.  very very glad to have c here, she always gets my feelings to the surface.  one kid finished first grade today, the other finished being a ‘ladybug’ and his first year of preschool.  very little sleep last night.  facing a summer of no childcare, but lots of work to do to keep things afloat.  have to work out a time-share with m on the days he’s not working.  almost burst into tears when thinking of the boys getting to see grambie next month, tho it will be very very short and she probably won’t remember much as it’s going to be chaos with a big family wedding.  rain for 2 weeks means hardly any sun.  almost everything feels like it’s in limbo.  i think we have a front-room tenant(s) starting in august, yay!!! not sure what to do for july.  still have r here but he knows he’s out if we get someone in.  owes a month, about to owe two.  not feeling the yay today, feeling very introspective but not depressed.  just needing to get it out.  i imagine that will happen tonight.  i hope so.

today, in pictures.  stops just before i got to see Douglas after school, when i met up with him at the park with his friends, in jeans and nothing else, soaking wet and gleeful.  another good day.

fynn had a performance at school, followed by pizza at the park.  i wasn’t feeling like being social, sadly, and kept to myself pretty much.

painting in the rain

In one of my few inspired parenting moments, we moved the paints to the porch, set up a old easel, and put the boys to it.

they had a ball.  some squabbling over paint, but not too much. 

then is started to rain.  not having painted enough, we rigged an umbrella, and the rain stayed gentle.

hilarity ensued and paint flew

masterpieces

a good day.

after the party

Fynn and I went to a b-day party at the prospect park carousel last weekend.  he had a ball, would only get off the carousel to eat the cupcake, and spent all his energy.  he had a VERY good time :).

Fynn's School Pix

Fynn had his first ever professional portrait taken at school earlier this spring, and a handful of the results are below.  I was pretty happy with them : he reacts differently to someone other than Michael or I, which I love.  The last one was the one they chose to get printed.   Not sure I dare cut that hair on his birthday.  I think I’ll leave it up to him. 

I love that I sent him in a dirty shirt :).  I guess it’s no surprise he’s mistaken for a girl 90% of the time people comment on him.
