this morning we had coffee and kiddie-cinnos
(kid version of a cappuccino, aka: chocolate milk with whipped cream and sprinkles)
and read books
and read books
we did a little housework, two loads of laundry, made homemade donuts,
took a wagon-load of food to our local food pantry,
played at the park, watched elvis in "girls, girls, girls".
we do love us some elvis in this house, cheesy, campy but so entertaining.

we hunted buckeyes,
then
hunted for the "best and prettiest" tree to eat our lunch under.
i think we found it.
but maybe most importantly, Charlotte got to climb a tree today, you know, because she's four now.
she keeps telling me different things that are
{check out the apple cozy. is that not the cutest thing ever?
i won it last year in a give-away, wish i could remember where...}

Woodstock socks and black kitty cat mary janes. don't you?
Oh this looks so beautiful.... turning four is really a big achievement and it makes it so good when you see your young one making the most of it... i kinda felt so happy reading the lines

easier for her or that she can do now, just because she turned four.
she was quite proud of herself." Beautiful xoxo

Stunning photos - such beautiful colours. I've just found your blog c/- Laura from A Place For Tea, and glad I did. You're very talented with photography, and make me want to linger on them, as they really tell a story. Sonia x

ReplyDeleteMmm, homemade donuts.

I love climbing trees.
I'm reading this on a Saturday instead of Friday. Friday I was at work and it was boring. Today I slept in and woke up to a kitty biting my cheek. And read a good book too. Then I waited for the cable guy to come set up my internet!
ReplyDeletewonderful photos. And I want some cocoa too, pretty please with sprinkles on top.
ReplyDeleteMy goodness, Amy, those photos are so delightful. I'm one of your newest followers and I'm hooked! What camera do you have? It's brilliant. J x
ReplyDeletesounds like a fun day and a whole lot warmer and sunnier than here.
ReplyDeleteThe first tree pic is amazing. Frame worthy, for sure.
ReplyDeleteDon't we all wish we could get away with those ensembles?
A sweater for an apple? Can anything be any cuter than that? Oh my...love it. And that mug of sprinkled goodness would bring major smiles around here.
ReplyDeleteGrowing up (before cable/VCR's/videos and DVR...way back in the dark ages), my sis and I would wait with such excitement for one of Elvis' movie reruns to come on TV. We were in love with Elvis!
That apple thingy is so darn cute-LOL! SO cute! And your sweet 4yrold is a doll to!
