Back in Session
School started last week, but not with any special signs or excitement. It was more like, two boys wondering around in the classroom space looking for something to do.

Staying Organized
I have a passion for staying organized and keeping things in order. This is kind of a far fetch dream with kids. It is so difficult to just keep the sink empty during the night while the people are sleeping…. or the laundry- that is a totally different story.
