Lucky Number13: Real Life

Thursday, October 20, 2011

:: yesterday ::

our walk around the neighborhood after school

*****

I've decided to try and capture my surroundings in a different way this week

not just the cute stuff but our everyday activities

of course i want to record the cute stuff, the fun stuff, the pretty things...

but i want to record the everyday moments that are what our little

life is really all about, too

not just doing fun things, hair fixed, faces clean in cute clothes...

but the random, every day, real life moments

because this is why i blog

to record our lives and our days...our little big moments

Like the fact that Charlotte does this every single time we pass this light post,

she hides behind it and thinks we/I don't see her... even though she does it every time.

I love that. Or the fact that Wyatt hooks Phoebe's leash to his belt loop so she doesn't

get away from him. And how if he's not wearing jeans he runs to change before

we go for a walk so he can walk her.

Happy Thursday everyone.

Tonight is our Parent-Teacher conference so no school tomorrow.

My favorite way to start the weekend, no school and a long weekend!

Hope you have a great day.

I love the real and the everyday. It is just as beautiful as the staged pictures, the special moments. Maybe more beautiful.

What a gorgeous place to walk. We are seeing very few signs of Fall yet (Im in Texas) so I am truly living through your snapshots right now!

Very special capture of an every day extraordinary walk...

I can't believe your kids get the day off after Parent-Teacher conference. No facing the music!?! x

This post and these pictures warm my heart and soul. I bet out of all the pictures we take of our kids, the ones like that pic of Charlotte hiding are going to be those they treasure most b/c of the memory it will stir.

Beautiful post and pictures!
