Homework. I try to make it tolerable with hot cocoa and powdered sugar donuts.
No deal.
He wants his usual. Oatmeal mixed with applesauce and a spoonful of honey.
We struggle. It's not easy with an attention span of literally three seconds.
I dig the rocks he has collected out of his backpack. He adds.
Did I mention powdered sugar donuts?
Or that the Bean gets up at 5:30?

We have late night homework sessions instead of early morning ones, but it's not fun either way.
I miss you!!!!!!! I was not so gently reminded by my mother that I haven't blogged in a month, but I seem to have developed the attention span of a moth. But I miss you and all the others out there, so I needed to come by and see how you were.
Love your pictures, as always. Say hi to the kiddles from all of us.
Ahh, but isn't there such lovely light in the wee hours?
And powdered sugar makes many things better :)
That picture is DarLinG!!!! Yup. We often have 6am homework. Wee hours are my favorite (I'm the only one in my house that feels that way).
Rachel, lovely light? It was pitch black outside!
Yikes 5:30, really! I would be super worthless at that hour! And homework at 6:00 would require a gargantuan amount of coffee.
Loved your photos...beautiful, beautiful light on the Bean's precious powder covered face!
You're making me tired just thinking about it.
Wow! A no go with hot chocolate & powdered sugar donuts? Although I would have a hard time waking up that early too. Can’t believe Bean gets up at 5:30! Love that she is already sugar covered!
its hard to believe he gave up hot cocoa and powdered donuts for oatmeal! these black and white photos are beautiful. i love B&W and i love your focus.
Oh that Bean! :)
Neat pics. I don't have kids, but having been one, I know that the attention span thing was sort of my problem. If I wasn't interested, it was really easy to focus on something (anything) else. Mom, who is the type to get what you don't like finished first, had near apoplexy several times with me over this habit. I truely do not know if anything would have worked, cocoa, sugar donuts... Cash...
But it did make for some nice pictures for you... :)

I'm glad my boys aren't the only ones with backpacks and pockets full of rocks. We're usually up by 5:30 around these parts too. On purpose. I think I got more sleep when my kids were babies.
Homework at 6:00 am? Ugh! I love that shot of the Bean. And I like rocks, too!
What time do you fall into bed asleep to make the 5:30 am wake up not such an evil thing? You are a great mom!
That's wayyyy to early. For doughnuts... for homework.... for anything. (If you ask me :D )
I keep telling myself that I will someday get revenge on these kids for all the early mornings. When they are teenagers... WATCH OUT!!!!
You are a good momma, Jess. Don't ever believe anything other than that.
Wow, lots of posts lately! Yum... Powdered sugar doughnuts would convince me to do just about anything. :)
