smeared wet remains of vivid chalk outlines & a flooding gutter could only mean one thing.
…magic.
while gray skies and downpours force most to cancel plans, they prompt us to make them.
and as soon as we heard the patter on the roof, we set out with big plans.
to get wet.
to seize the moment.
to find the most perfect puddles for the best splash upsprays.
we love it when it rains.
the frog boots are still alive and kickin’ (thank you, aunt amy). and they make the loveliest squelch and squerch sounds you’ve ever heard.
yes, the rain is quite magic.
so, thank you thick and heavy clouds.
thank you gray, languid sky.
oh, and thank you frog boots.
and in other magic.
creativity plus fall plus podgy little pumpkin equals one happy girl today.
she is a bundle of creative energy ready to be unleashed…and if i don’t provide it, she’ll find it.
and speaking of podgy little punkins…today’s halloween shoot:
happy weekending!

Spooktacular Halloween Kid!!! Great job…and Lainey shares my love for a warm Florida rain…where there is no lightning, I love to swim in my pool, sit in my hot tub or just go walk in it…sweet! I could listen to the theme from On Golden Pond…the pauses in the music are profound and punctuate the melody perfectly…ahhhhh…
cora’s narration of your pictures this evening included …
“i like that boots.”
“that my mommy with the baby stickin’ out.”
(if only i looked as awesome as you!)
“i see a lil’ girl gotta punkin hat. i wanna punkin hat.”
“little girl paint so pretty on-a punkin.”
“that a naughty baby spill candy everywhere.”

The candy corn and the hat are too much! What sweet pictures they are.
Lainey in the rain with her bathing suit and frog boots equals one happy girl.
I’m so jealous that it is warm enough to play in the rain in a swimsuit in Florida! Lainey’s so lucky!!!!! And popsicles to boot!
Those rain pics are come of my favorite of your love ever. She seems so her.
And, you look different in you last few posts…it’s funny how that happens with pregnancy. It’s not even like I can describe it…softer, beautiful. Pregnant. Love it. xo
