lets play pretend

Princess party.

Dress up on a saturday morning.

Nobody was feeling to energetic in our house today.

My husband is sick,

The girls are wild and a little on the grumpy side

and I am just plain grumpy due to being 4 days overdue and extremely uncomfortable.

This was the highlight of the morning.

It was nice to pretend we were someone else for a little bit.

Children's games are hardly games. Children are never more serious than when they play.

Butterfly Beauty

A butterfly glass ornament at m y parents house. I really have never noticed it before, but it struck me today with pure beauty. 

"Mommy, I am flying like a butterfly."

The ultimate example of transformation.

Caterpillar to Butterfly. 

Pure inner truth and beauty.

Nurture and love, warmth and patience.

Of course she wants to fly like a butterfly.



My favorite picture of my girls today.

simple and loving

May the wings of the butterfly kiss the sun
And find your shoulder to light on,
To bring you luck, happiness and riches
Today, tomorrow and beyond.

Where it is always June

Here is the beginning of my new project...

We got a new camera in April and I have been meaning to start using it creativly.

So here starts my 'A picture a day' project...

To help keep me concious of the beauty in each day.

Heres today's pictures.

(having a hard time picking just one....may need to bend the rules to a few pictures a day!)

Charlotte playing in the tunnel, hiding from her sister.

Chloe on the playstructure giving me a typical 'Chloe look'.

I wonder what it would be like to live in a world where it was always June.
