School days, school days

I don't know if I should cry or celebrate, my boys are back in school and Becca will soon join them. She is at daycare today, so I am home alone today for the first time in months. I already have the housework done, now what do I do? I am caught up with laundry, have done dishes and vacuumed, the rest of the house is clean, how do I spend the rest of the day. I know, I will go shopping, yeah, that is the plan. I told this story to Rich and he just rolled his eyes. As if I need an excuse to go shopping. I think I will enjoy my time alone today, actually get to meander through the stores and look around rather than rush through with kids in tow.

Here are a couple of pictures from the past few days.
Becca was napping and looking just too cute.

We have been trying to go for a walk/ bikeride every day. The other night the kids decided to walk with me.

Becca had to bring her animals with for a walk also.


The boys had fun trying to climb the shale pit across the road from our driveway.


Becca of course was playing in the sand and in flowers.


I love the colors of this flower in the fading evening light.

I'll update and let everyone now how the first day of school went and how I survived my first days with all three kids in school. Is there such a thing as "Early empty-nest syndrome"?
