I don’t know if this happens to anyone else, but sometimes it feels like our days are intense. Not intensely bad or good, necessarily. But we eat our breakfast intensely, clean up furiously, then play vigorously. Emotions are only felt in the extreme. We giggle instead of laugh, sob instead of fuss, scream instead of yell. Some days this doesn’t just go for the kids, but me too. My theory today is that it’s because of the weather. The mornings lately are cold and gray and dull – so everything else is vibrant and INTENSE to compensate. That goes for the editing of these pictures from our afternoon at the park this week, too. Whatever the reason, sometimes being a mom just calls for a little intensity. Today I’m intensely grateful!
