Chalk!!!

Last week at a garage sale we bought a box full of artist pastel chalks. Needless to say we'll never be buying that sad sidewalk chalk again. This stuff is awesome!

Our trip to the Harvest Festival

This past weekend the girls and I headed out with friends to a local Fall Festival. The girls had so much fun playing in giant bales of hay, riding ponies, feeding goats, eating hot dogs and going down the giant pig slide. The sun was really harsh so the photos could have been better but I know my girls could not have had more fun!


























And will all of this hay, how could I not put this in for Mellow Yellow Monday?

Cool Cats!

First off, I have to admit that I don't like cats. It may have to do with the fact that I am very allergic but cats and I just do not get along. Cool Cats, on the other hand, I totally love. Especially when it's my girls who think they are the cats meow!

Cake

My little sister got married last Oct. For her bridal shower I made tiny hamburger cupcakes with cookie french fries. They were a big hit. I've always wanted to make them again, but I just haven't found the time.

Dance Baby Dance!

I have a lot of respect for those people who can capture the movement and grace of dance in a still photo. It's a moment in time that is over in a blink of an eye. It's the difference between looking like you are lost in a moment of the movement and just looking like you got caught in an awkward position.

This is Sophie dancing at the farmers market this summer. I pulled this photo from a series of 4 which actually looked more like dancing but I love the movement of her hair in this one.

My Nana and Papa.

I just stumbled upon a new photo challenge over at Happy Monday. This week there is no specific theme. Just something that makes you happy.

These are my grandparents. They make me happy. I'm happy that at 33 I still have 3 of my 4 grandparents. I'm happy that I still get to see my Nana and Papa almost every week. I'm happy that my girls have been able to spend time with their great grandparents. I'm happy that I have the family I do.

Finger Prints

The photo challenge this week over at Paper Mama is fingerprints. I posted really cool sandy hands pictures last week but I wanted to try to find something new. Isabelle was playing with her window gels this afternoon when I got this shot from the other side of the door. It's no wonder everything in my house is covered in fingerprints!
