nicklaus had a classmate's birthday party today.

everyone started out with a blank canvas with a circle on it.

when finished, they were all so different...

so colorful.

beautiful.

i see this craft making the list for camp elliott.

 

we watched dolphin tale tonight.

young families from church.

hoodlums with their families.

eating.

swimming.

floating.

mr. dave brought winter's tale with him from work.

everyone got to see it.

learn the facts that differ from hollywood's version.

by the end of the night,

everyone was significantly pruned.

cassie was last man standing floating.

love a night like this.

 

 

i didn't see little much today.

when he filled me in on his day,

he told me about his last chapel moment.

they got to sing in the kazu outside(gazebo).

all about when he was jumping with nicklaus on the pillows...

and got a bleed (any boo boo that draws blood).

at the end of charlie's musical theatre performance

he told chaw yee that he really enjoyed his show.

unprompted.

unsolicited.

he might not get all the words right...

but the ones he does are spot on.

 

i should start out this post by letting you know that we don't always have picnic lunches in the backyard.

even though we live in a state that we could totally picnic outside almost everyday...we don't.

so when i asked sam if he would like to have a picnic with me, he was over the moon.

we made bunny shaped sandwiches, packed yogurt, and goldfish in our basket and walked all the way to the backyard.

i needed to get away for a little bit today.

tons of laundry to put away.

lots of commitments that needed my attention.

i was feeling overwhelmed and needed to step back.

i cannot get into my craft room right now...shocker, i know.

so i grabbed my camera and my oh so cute subject.

the perfect natural lighting on the play set picnic table.

he was happy being with me.

the feeling was mutual.

 

 

 

a subject willing to let me play with my camera settings and exposures wa
