last year at this time:
this year, baby took artistic talent into her own hands and painted her first pumpkin masterpiece…sure to become a halloween tradition until her coordination grants her the ability to hold a pumpkin cutter…
…and under the table, latte kept watch.
can’t believe she stayed still enough for me to paint this on her cheek.
enjoyed a wonderfully loungey weekend where we did loungey things like sit in the driveway, watching lainey play outside and stay in our jammies too long.
p.s. our little sugar-and-spice likes to play in the dirt now.
…enjoying the family things. ~k
The fourth picture down is GREAT because of her expression. She is concentrating so much. I just love her eyes.
And the Helen Keller comment was HYSTERICAL!! That made me laugh out loud!

Oh my word I can’t believe how much she’s grown up in only a year! Hahaha, the Helen Keller pic is priceless, especially because Lainey’s looking right at the camera. hahaha, Carin, is that (w-w-w-water) from “The Miracle Worker”?? Oh I also loved the pic of Latte under the little table 🙂
LAUGHING…SO…HARD.
The Helen Keller picture. OMG.
I expected the next picture to be one of you “feeling” Lainey’s face…rubbing painbrushes all over the place…mouthing the pumpkin…

O
friggin’ L.
And after I stop laughing, let me just say this…
I love, love, LOVE how you give her the freedom to create, no boundaries, and just BE.
No goal of a certain finshed product…no worries about how messy it gets…
The only goal is that she is CREATING.
What a GIFT, Kelle.
You are an INCREDIBLE MOTHER!!!!
xoxoxo

So, although this was posted almost four years ago, I wanted to post about how adoreable Lainey was for her 2nd Halloween. I also laughed SO HARD about the Helen Keller comment in that one picture! You are such a witty, amazing woman!
