Born to Sop

After dropping off the big kids at school, I grabbed Ellerie and said, "Hey girlie!  We are going to the store!"

She smiled wide, and then said it.

"Sop!  I wan sop!"

Translation:  "Shop!  I want to shop!"

I swear I teared up a little.

It was just so beautiful.

Waxing Nostalgic for Summer

Goodbye my summer. . .

Goodbye to 

sleeping in . . .

playing at the park . . .

(Ab at the spray park.)

picnicking . . .

swimming . . .

and

morning quiet that lasted for hours.

Hello school days . . .

Hello to . . .

waking up with an alarm . . .

walking to class . . .

packing lunches . . .

packing bookbags . . .

and

morning noise that disturbs my coffee time.

Sigh.

I need a pan of brownies to get me through. 

**** Please indulge me for being summertime nostalgic.  I love summer, and although it is not technically over, school begins tomorrow, so summertime freedom is over.  ( This post is part of I heart Faces, nostalgia week.)
