my girls | photos from today

It has been a while since I have gotten any photos of my girls with my big girl camera. Tonight we headed out for a few minutes and grabbed a couple shots.  My heart is bursting with how much they have grown over the last 6 months.  My littlest love has lost all of her babyness.  Suddenly I am looking into the face of a little girl and not the baby she was.  Oh and my sweet middle girl is now 7.  I still don't know quite how that happened.  It leaves me feeling quite old.


 

Oh how much I love them.  Even when they are being silly and all I got were these few photos out of the 100 I tried to take.  Goofballs.

(I used My Four Hens actions to prettify these photo.)

Walden | Studio Calico

I fell in love with this kit the first time I saw it.

The colors, patterns and that little deer were so perfect.  So, when SC had their sale on Black Friday I had to grab it.  I finally got a little time last night to make something with it.

I love this photo of my middle girl with my hat on.  She looks so sophisticated.  I hope she always dances to the music in her head and dresses just how she likes.  Her personality is so "spicy."

My Four Hens NEW release

I have had the opportunity to test brand new actions for my lovely friend at My Four Hens.  Her actions have never failed me. I have actually purchased several sets over the last couple of years because they always work so wonderfully.  I thought I would share the goodness here and let you all know about the free stuff she has on her FB page as well.

I used a combination of all the action sets on these photos.  CLICK HERE to grab up the bundle of the

Enchanted + Sublime + Two Faced actions.

a beautiful day

Yesterday was absolutely lovely.  Not too hot or cold, no wind and lots of sunshine.  We took full advantage by playing in the sprinklers and coloring with the giant box of chalk I picked up for them.

Garden Flowers and Kitty Cats

Tonight as the sun was starting to go down, this little love came running up to me with a handful of little flowers.  Not just any flowers...the flowers from the little bushes in my front flower bed.  She was so cute and so full of love that I couldn't even begin to be angry.  Of course I had to grab a few photos.  I think we took about 5 minutes total to grab these.  The light was perfect, she was in a good mood and her kitties even let her hold them.  I call that a very big win.

As you can see, the cats were not really happy about being loved on but they tolerated her very nicely.

3 year old style

I just love the outfits my daughter puts together. Today she asked for shorts so I gave her the pink shirt and shorts to wear. Then she wanted the striped sweater and the blue star shoes. I have so many little battles I fight with her every day. Writing her letters or learning a new shape, eating her lunch and dinner, not eating any candy before lunch or after dinner...I have just decided to let the clothes choices be. Besides, she is just so stinking cute even if she doesn't always match. ♥

In fact, she was so cute today that when I said no to a lollipop today at the store, the cashier just gave her one. 

 Can't say no to kindness either.
