Day 262 of my 365 Photo Journal 

After dropping the kids at VBS today, I took Ollie over to Sharon Woods for a walk/wander. Thursday is our HC playgroup day, and I invited everyone, but nobody responded to my invite. 🙄 Granted, Jenny is pregnant and sick and it is summer and hot as hell, but I've been missing the woods and really just wanted to get out there. Thankfully, it wasn't a very humid day and we were able to stick to the shade most of the time. I didn't even get sweaty! 🥳 We honestly had a really fun time, just me and my littlest. Lots of throwing rocks into the lake and pointing at peoples puppies. :) 

I took a lot of photos that I loved today, but I chose these two. The top one is my favorite of the day and the bottom one COULD have been my favorite, if my focus hadn't been messed up. Apparently the camera auto focused on the tree, rather than the face and I didn't notice in any of the six pictures I took of her playing peekaboo behind this tree! I was really disappointed, because she was smiling in almost all of them and this one in particular would have been adorable.

What a day! It literally rained from start to finish, but we packed as much into it as we possibly could! We had a great time visiting and hanging out. We had a fire and lots of great meals *brushes shoulder off*. The kids played well together and, as far as I know, there wasn't any drama! It was a bit exhausting, but I'm so glad that this retreat went well. Last year's was a bit of a bomb, with all the childcare drama happening behind the scenes. I feel like last year's retreat was a pre-cursor to our deciding to move away. Not that they actually had anything to do with one another, but they happened in such close succession that they seem related in retrospect. I drank a bit too much tonight and had a really fun time singing songs, while Tony played the guitar. Man, I wish I had talent with instruments!

This is my favorite picture from the whole shoot!! I love it.  We went to CT this morning and I actually got to sit in on the teaching! Woo! It feels like that doesn't happen very often. We hung out in the cafe with friends for a little bit, then went to Chipotle for lunch on the way home.  We spent most of the day just relaxing! I started a photo book for our Maine vaca in September, and tried to get caught up with some other stuff, but it was mostly just a chill day. Jonas and Clem went to group and we stayed home, chillin'. Ben and I got in the hot tub with Ruby and Ollie for a little while, which was fun. It was snowing while we were in there!

Today was a very rough day for me. It's not like everything went wrong, I just really struggled to manage my emotions. I had to run out, first thing, to get my pick-up order because there were things in it that we needed for breakfast. Then, somehow, we didn't get school started until almost 9:30. I started with Ruby and Ollie, as usual, and decided to check in with Ollie while I was reading. Okay, related side note, Ruby can't stand it when I ask Ollie questions and not her. But the thing is, Ruby remembers EVERYTHING she hears. She learns super well by just plain old listening. If I ask her questions, she answers them correctly and I never get to gauge whether or not Ollie is learning. She also always blurts out answers because she's so afraid I won't give her an opportunity to show us all how much she is learning. And I get it! She wants praise and to show me that she's a good student and she's learning. I understand. But, because of her constant eagernes...
