5 Minutes Before School
I often write blog posts in my head these days and they never come to fruition because of one thing or another. I’ve recently been inspired by a photographer friend of mine that has been doing ‘5 Minutes’ blog posts where she focuses on just a few minutes at a time with her children. I can totally get behind that because lately I’ve been fighting the fight of having what feels like NO time.
So, today I’m posting some pictures from last week that I took of the girls right before we left to drop Maggie off at school. The three mornings that we’re trying to get out the door can have a calm tone, but some days we’re rushing and there isn’t a peace that I’d like to have. It’s a work in progress.
On the morning that we took these pictures we had a few extra minutes and the light in our backyard was taunting me. The girls, both wearing dresses that my mom made, were happy enough to spend a few minutes outside before getting into the car.
When Barry was really into kiteboarding he’d talk often (too often, in my opinion) about the wind. What the wind was doing, what the wind might do and if he should get his gear and go chase the wind. I’ve become that way now in talking about light….because that morning light is amazing and beautiful and I could talk about it more than anybody probably wants to hear about it.
I snapped these pictures in a quick 5 minutes and then we shimmied ourselves into the car for preschool drop-off.
