i can breathe again

it's 90 degrees and, in an effort to pretend like we aren't ruled by schedules and places to be, my 2 littlest and i ventured out to the farm this morning. squeezed it in between my new "tuesday speed workout" and sawyer needing to get on the bus at 11:29 am. it took longer to get there and back than we were actually there, but it was worth it.

i get to feeling so smothered by the day to day "stuff" (that i am clearly aware we have chosen!) and just needed to get out of here and take a deep breath. it was needed and so nice.

i could have gone to lunch with some friends...or i could have done this...it was a no-brainer! :-) and a wise choice for my heart (being with friends would have been sweet, also, but i needed this kind of day today.)

i LOVE LOVE this one. i think i might frame it. he was so happy to find a "snail" on an apple. and i just love both of their expressions :-)

we picked apples.

and they ate their lunch.

and then it was time to go. instead of it being too short, we chose to be happy for the gift that it was!

(and just for the record, this is how i have to use my computer these days. so i'm sorry if the pictures look crazy, it's hard to edit them like this! and also hard to type...so sorry for any typo's! :/)
