Summer Date

Yes, my lovely date likes to apply her own blue eyeshadow on such fancy occasions as a date with Mommy.

These photos were taken on labour day. The last day of summer for the Pip and I. We had a date. We dressed up in our new dresses, went to the park and then for coffee. And now my beautiful, darling baby girl is in first grade.
My other beautiful darlings are in eleventh grade and seventh grade. Mist is not happy with her schedule at school. She’s taking nothing but academics, French and Band. She really wants to take Japanese for fun–so I will find time to meet with the counsellors to see if we can make this happen.
Tabitha has not made it to school yet this new term. She has been ill with a mystery fever and headache for 4 days now. No other symptoms except tiredness, fever and significant head ache. I worry, late summer is the time for West Nile etc. And we spent time in the Southern States and Oregon this summer–lime disease. I’ve taken her to the doctor but for now it is a waiting game to see if she gets better or worse in the next few days. My mind stops when my babies are sick. I cannot focus on anything but their return to health.
September is my least favorite month of the year. I do not like saying goodbye to summer–never have.
