Photos of the Week: September 7

“The difference between school & life? In school you are taught a lesson and then given a test. In life you are given a test that teaches you a lesson.” – unknown

This week, we did a lot of end-of-summer projects to get ready for the rainy weather. Cooper helped.

We stained the steps. Cooper helped.

Our friend Eric said that he had some style advice for Miss O so she’d be memorable for the first day of 4th grade (left). Fortunately, she choose to listen to her aunt Lindsey instead!

Starting Kindergarten. Miss O did online Kindergarten so this feels like the first time I’ve really experienced this rite of passage. I’m not sure I can even encapsulate all my feelings about this. Except to say that there’s so much hope and potential that comes with this milestone!

The last (likely) lemonade stand of the summer. At least that’s the plan…

  6. Happy school year to the kiddos…and to mom! Good luck to Coop as he readies his new construction company for opening. I hope he can field his own appts. and invoicing.

  7. I love how helpful your kids are and how you get them to be so responsible at such a young age! Cooper too!

    Congrats on getting through the first week of school for Miss O and good luck with Mr D on Monday!

  9. I love Cooper’s footprints! Although it has been years (I won’t say how many although my daughter is now a grandmother with grandkids going off to kindergarten) I still treasure the memories of her first day at school. Sadly, they grow up way too fast!

  10. A lovely week Wynne filled with plenty of emotions. Those first kindergarten days are ones you’ll always remember. And Mr. D. will too.
    Love Cooper’s helping hand (paws) all over the place.
    And look at Miss O, already making wise decisions. 😆
    Great week! Have a fun weekend too!

    1. Oh, you are so right about these treasured memories. As for Cooper, we don’t have to remember him since he’s leaving his paw prints everywhere. 🙂 Hope you have a nice transition back as well, my dear friend! ❤

  17. You are such a good mom. Having your kids help with some of the chores around the house makes them feel good about themselves while teaching responsibility.

  23. Cooper is such a good helper. 😂 At least he looks good in the hard hat. I’m not sure about the billboard quote—I haven’t seen one yet. But, of course, we’re not going to tell the idiot.
