All things must come to an end...

There, not only is the weekend over. Last week The Boy celebrated the last day of school and a first school year, with good teachers, is over. The Boy will miss his teachers and has mourned the loss.

Both a picnic and a traditional celebration took place. I brought the camera, of course!

Picnic.

Very good times together with friends and parents!

The teachers. Good as gold. 

 The Boy captured his mama.

 Time for games. Everybody joined in!!

The Boy LOVES cookies <3

The entire little class. 

Giving flowers to the wonderful teacher.

Lots of love. 

I find endings and partings exceptionally hard. I dislike bidding farewell and I absolutely don't want to think I might not see someone again. So, it is out of character, really, for me to be moving about and changing jobs.
I just might have passed this on to The Boy, cause he doesn't care for these things at all, either. He doesn't want to leave his teachers and he has been really sad about it. Last year he was in chock when he realized he was to say goodbye to his pre school teachers, so this time he was  a little more prepared.
I suspect he'll do next term, as he has done this passed year: go visit the old teachers...!

 Showing mama the things he made during the year. Gorgeous things.

Gotta put some pics up on Instagram...

Traditional celebration, at church.

Here they come - the cutest kiddos ever! 

Waiting outside...

The following pics I think speak loudly that love begins with "fighting" as we have a saying here!!

He was in a terrific mood.

Stirring up some trouble...

Having fun.

Love the happy faces, love them. They make me happy!

See that look?!

We all say farewell to things all the time: seasons, phases in life, years. Time.
Right now we welcome summer, here, at the same time people on the other side of the planet say goodbye to their summer. Bid farewell.

I now have a school boy for real. Not a pre schooler. Big changes for him and for me.
Life, slowly turning, changing.


A new week stands before us. I hope you had a great weekend? I had a smashing weekend, it was like a vacation and I sucked the marrow right out of it!

Have a good Monday, friends!

Staus update

Writing this it's Wednesday evening and we celebrated The Boy's last day of school, this semester, all day long. 

Let me tell 'ya - it was one of those days. A day of nostalgia, thinking of all the "last day of schools" I've celebrated with my oldest son. I had to wipe some tears away, that's certain.

Well, more on the subject in Monday's post!

All this, just to say: my heart is warm and I feel nothing but happiness on a proud day like today.

Even the sun decided to show her beautiful face!!

The Boy keeps enjoying the trampoline.

BBQ:ing marsmallows....!

First evening of dining outside. This, to me, is heaven!

It's a failsafe way to celebrate the arrival of summer.

(yes, the IG-capturer has to be close at hand...)

Yeah, there a third of them are: the thousands (or so it seemed) spider babies that freaked us both out, this passed weekend. We debated for a minute or two, how we'd get rid of them and then decided to get the hose and some water.... They hung out immediately outside our garden door.

I love love love our little garden!

A boy that keeps going wild all the time!

Yay, I'm a Instagram lover!

Here are the best ones since my last IG-update:

So, this fella finally got a ball of his own :-)

Twilight evenings are here. Also a part of summer.

The Boy discovered the art of strawberries and whipped cream :-)

Hitting the gym is still a joy!

Summer!

Picnic, as a farewell ritual at The Boy's school. Laid back and cosy.

Trying for a milestone shot of me and my boy, after the picnic.

Forget about it, he hid...

Helping daddy vacuum.

These are the proud parents at the end of school-celebration!

We went road tripping after the ceremony.

Went to some nice spots.

And after that: a stop at our all time favorite place!

Soul food.

Our hometown!

The Ball Lover <3

My dog! As goofy as I am...

Ending the school's out-celebration with salad consisting of our own lettuce, again!!

So, the famous charge time is coming up?! I can feel them butterflies flying around. I'm all up for only weekends, these days - go figure!

I feel like "skipping school" almost every day but of course I don't. I wonder why that is? Am I tired? Is it because vaca is coming up? I really don't know.

I'm glad it is coming up, though, I sure can do with it about now.

If we capture the Thursday and go to bed unusually early, maybe Friday, Saturday and Sunday will get an even better start? I might try it....

Have a grand weekend. You deserve it!
