just a tiny bit of pink...


these pictures of them just make me smile

for endless possibilities

the beauty of life

the cuteness of my little girl's legs
I love this picture so much I can't stand it


even if I got it a little blurry...
these legs make me smile and laugh

we spent an afternoon at the park the other day
and I promised them some swinging if they just let me get some pictures of them in these tutus
they quickly agreed...
"swinging" was all I had to say
but it was hot...
so I was drenched...
what's new, right?

and by the way the girls love the "Boogie Shoes" song I used for a couple of posts ago
so much so they ask for me to play it 3 times a day...
and what do you know they asked right before pictures
well darn if I didn't happen to carry my laptop with my playlist on me

so their response to me not having it...
because you know I just carry it with me always
{yah...right!}
just like I got asked today to pull a cheese stick out of my purse while we were driving along
{oh how I love they always think I have everything with me at all times}


no really...
I asked if they would stand closer together and that was their sad little faces I got
so I called them drama...
then I got a few sweet laughs from them


other than it being extremely stinkin' hot or humid
it was a great few hours at the park
and they loved, loved being around the pond taking pictures




well fun until we heard some seriously weird noises
because I guess we were close to some animals hideout or home

the girls asked what the noise was...
I simply said "nothing"
as I scurried them along trying not to freak out

because all I was picturing in my head was the stinkin' possum
I saw in our backyard a few months back


yes I realize that possums are are nocturnal...
and it wasn't a possum at the pond for sure~
 I just knew Bobby would kill me for having them so close to the water
with the girls telling them they heard weird noises

and sure enough that was his first comment when he saw the pictures
"do you have any idea?"
I said
"live a little honey!" {chuckle}
I told him we were fine...no worries {me laughing}
and the girls weren't scared because I didn't make a big deal out of it to them



we had a great afternoon of some sisterly hugs

did I ever tell you that I love how they love?
Hayley told me yesterday "I'm proud of you Mommy!"
and I melted...and didn't move it made me feel so good


she's not typically the one who necessarily loves with her words
{she does say very sweet things all the time but I hope you understand what I mean here}

she most often loves with her touch
she loves to love by being near and snuggling


I love that about them
how they compliment one another

Madison loves with words
{yes, she does love to snuggle too before family corrects me}
but I appreciate their differences so much
it makes me so happy to see them becoming their own little self



days like this are so happy and fun
for some reason these tutus made them want to dance...


the love between them
their comfort in their environment
and their love for the outdoors
is happiness for them

to them it's all about letting loose and making silly faces to one another


I about literally peed in my shorts when Hayley did this face because I had never seen her do it before
no one probably would have noticed it was so stinkin' hot
{I probably should have just kept that to myself, huh?}
and no I really didn't pee in my shorts....


I've decided when the girls aren't wearing these tutu's I'll hang them on a hook in their room
part of their room decor
to add the perfect touch

which is why they both have pink
because you know if they don't have the same...
"that's not good momma"
plus pictures together I thought it would look cute




I think I became a little tutu picture taking obsessed but they were having so much fun
it made me have fun snapping some photos of them
we had a wonderful day together

next time I just have to remember to not forget the water
but they didn't seem to mind to picking up their own drinks on the way home

I decided we *need* a little bridge just like that one in our backyard
it was so fun and Hayley hadn't been to it yet
it was just their size
I probably just got the eye roll from somone here...
because he is probably wondering where I would put a bridge in our backyard
when there is no way to do it
To that...I say use your construction imagination...honey...
yah...not going to happen I know
but I can just dream of all the greenery and flowers around it
sigh

I can't even find words for how cute the girls look in those tu-tus. All the pictures are just LOVELY, but Hailey's funny face has to be my favorite- and I had the same experience- Aaron did it one day and I'd never seen it before. Cracked me up!

Shannon said...

oh my gosh I love these pictures, the one where the girls are walking away is my favorite!

Oh, Martha...they are 2 of the most beautiful girls. And you can tell from their little faces it is inside and out, too! Sounds like you had a wonderful day together. Oh, and the tutus are fabulous! ;o)
