scenes from a birthday party

I loved every second of my niece's 4th birthday party.  Little girls in braids and buns, a pony, and I especially loved how every gift was just what she "always wanted."

I could put a ton of pics up here of our disney world trip.  This is the smallest of samplings, but they are some of my favorite moments.    

Watching my son's face when Darth Vadar walked out of those doors behind him...I wished I had snapped that pic.  The over-the-top parades, the rollercoaster rides, and walking around with shirts that marked the occasion for what it was.  

We are still talking about disney around here.  I imagine that will be the case for awhile.

Summer always slips through my fingers.  Impossible to hold on to.  Fall will be here before I know it.  Those days seem so much longer. 

A beach in Tampa with white sand that felt like you were walking on carpet.  No joke.

A good friend who, when I asked her how she was doing post delivery, said,

 "I'm in love."

I could tell you her pregnancy story, but that's hers to tell.  It suffices to say that this momma knows what it is to endure to the end.  From the looks of it, her end held the sweetest little prize.  Congrats friend.  You did it!

Made these with littlest C's preschool last week.  The best part was listening to the boys try to say TER-ARR-IUM.  The other best part was watching their little wheels turning, trying to decide if rollie pollie or worm would be the first to find a home inside their jar.    

      

This is a wall in my laundry room.  The last bits and pieces of it came together yesterday.  

I smile when I look at it.  And that's saying something because I rarely smile when I walk into my laundry room.
