A week in the life with @mg
Short one this time, but I had a really fun time last weekend with my son Nash and just wanted to share some pictures.
It was his first day of school recently! He's going two days a week to preschool now ☺️
We went to this apple orchard that we love, and he went hunting for the best ones.
The next day he really needed a haircut, so I bribed him with some ice cream 😆
Finished out the weekend with us baking an apple pie with the fresh apples. Though by that I mean Nash spread flour everywhere and I did all of the work lol.
