blue

it is so hot here in the summer. and hot means red. orange. warm colors.



can you tell that lil' miss candy had been gathering salt and was drizzling it on the ground as if it were sand? that is what her hand is doing in that awkward position.


looking at these photos from last month makes me feel cooler. maybe it's all the blue.
i had planned on having them wear pink. bright pink. and then blue. but monkey spit black licorice out onto her pink shirt. ruined it for any sort of wear right then. so, we were left with only blue. and that's ok. maybe all blue looks ok. either way, the girls had lots of fun out there.

and here are some surprising photos. this was one of those rare occasions when i handed my camera over to the girls. and i am so happy i did.






i liked this place so much, i would love to go back and stay longer. let the kids run more. farther. and bring my boy along.

ok, one more... she came in close and i was falling over. so, i think it's funny.
(this was the photo that preceded the kissy cheek photo)

just a photo

there is no real reason for posting this photo. well, other than that. it's a photo. and i took it.

i took it while walking around bonne terre in mississippi.
and that's all i have to say about it.



maybe i am experiencing an abundant lack of vocabulary lately because of the heat. maybe it's from the late hours. maybe, just maybe, it's because of my 4 beautiful kid-batteries that seem to recharge themselves off of me. all day. every day. all summer long. they take energy from me and i can't seem to find something to take energy from myself. to replenish my supplies. i would love to run around crazy like they do, and not tire from it.

should i take up drinking red bull? or any form of caffeine?

maybe i do have something to say about this photo. it looks peaceful to me right now at this hour of night. i would love to lay on the warm ground and watch the grass sway in the breeze above me. peacefully.
peace sounds good.
