This DFW newborn photographer would just like to title this week “that time we almost built an ark.” It was the first full week of summer break for my son, so I had high hopes that we could welcome summer with open arms—swimming, going to the splash pad, hanging at the park, etc. Yeah…not so much. First, I came down with a cold. Plus, we had the Biblical deluge to deal with outside, and also my husband was gone for work 5 days in a row meaning I had the joy of being the sole cruise ship director for the majority of the week. The thing is, there is only so much you can Play-Doh and paint inside before your kid starts to turn on you. It was bad…real bad…and I’m sooooo thankful the sun is out and we can resume regularly scheduled summer programming.
Want to see how bad things got– let’s review with a look at Week 23 of my Project 365.
DFW Newborn Photographer | Project 365 | Week 23
153/366: Hey, I made an effort. It was the beginning of the week, and despite the frog strangler conditions outside and my stuffy nose, I schlepped us over to an indoor playground. Gold medal mom.
154/366: Captains log – Day 8 of rain. Losing my mind. Everyone is losing their mind. It’s time to go outside, rain or shine.
155/366: Apparently, after being forced to play indoors for the millionth day in a row, my son had worked his way through his 1,000 toys and decided to play with nail clippers and some dental floss instead. Desperate times call for desperate measures.
156/366: Finally, some respite from the rain. If there was only one day last week for it not to rain, this was a good one for Mother Nature to pick. My sister had her bachelorette party so I left the munchkin at home with Paw-paw and got to go to downtown Ft. Worth for a little girl time.
157/366: More sunshine!! Celebrating with a swim in the pool, burgers for dinner and an after meal Popsicle.
158/366: Snack time is serious business y’all.
