Not in the Mood....

I have not been in the mood to blog much lately, as I am sure some of you have noticed! I think that is due in large part to the brutal week I had last week.

Among other things that were going on (namely issues with medical insurance, but we will save that for another post) Noah had his first week of summer camp last week. The first three days were great, the fourth and fifth days he cried that he didn't want to go. There was very obviously something about camp that he wasn't enjoying. Aside from that, his behaviour at home was atrocious! He seemed to be very over tired....perhaps due to camp?? I think he was also feeling a lot of anxiety around the whole camp experience in general. This did not make for good behaviour at home. Top that off with the fact that Kevin had a very heavy week at work, meaning that he saw the kids even less than usual (which isn't a lot during the week usually), and we had a recipe for disaster.

Saturday was a complete write off in terms of enjoyable time with Noah too. Kevin commented that it was the worst day he had had with Noah in a long time. Not good.

That is why it was that much more meaningful to catch these pics of the kiddies playing with the hose at the end of a very long day!

They say that a picture is worth a thousand words, but isn't it ironic that when looking at these pictures you really have no idea about how rough things have been in our house lately?
