Last week with a 5 year old.

He has one tooth hanging low from falling off his bike.

My boys seem to feel the need to traumatize their poor mouth.

I love that smile.

I am cherishing my last week with a 5 year old!

Only a couple more days left and he will be 6!

We stopped by the Tulsa Children’s Museum on Friday which just happened to be one week before my littlest turns 6!

I started taking pictures of my boys the week before their birthday three years ago.

I then had a two year old turning three…

My almost six year old spent a lot of the time there playing with the boxes they have set up to use like blocks.

He can build things for hours.

Wondering where big brother went?

I did inform him he had to help some with the building and not just the destroying.

It seems like my little man has changed overnight.

Seriously, six?

Crazy.

I cannot believe my youngest can build things like this.

It does make his insistence that he cannot pour his own cereal look a little flimsy.

Can’t wait to spend the rest of this week capturing moments with my little man!

I am now 30.

I really do not have a problem with that. Most of my friends are in their thirties.

What I did not count on was my feelings of panic that I did not end my last day in my twenties in a big way.

I was suddenly sad last night that I was not out hiking in the ozarks or watching the sunset over a lake.

I wanted to take off for the nearest lake but dinner was on the stove.

I settled for a self portrait and a walk in our backyard in between the moments dinner needed my attention.

I also made myself a pumpkin cheesecake and ate half of it…

Eating half of a cheesecake will always make you feel like you are celebrating.
