i just sat down to update but have been roadblocked. looks like i've used up all my free storage and i'll be charged to keep blogging. i guess that happens after 6 years of picture storage.
a friend called blogging her lazy way of scrapbooking which totally describes it perfectly for me as well. therefore, i know i'll carry on. just not sure if it will be at a brand new blog address.
to be continued.

kid quotes
After years of being glued to my camera i guess i have officially taken a sabbatical. ben blames instagram but i'm not sure there is any rhyme or reason why my picture taking and blogging has been so limited. i'm hopeful that i will get back into the swing of picturing and blogging in the near future.

october days with mimi & papa
first up: pumpkin patch
some of us got lost in the corn maze while mimi and kinsley didn't mind showing off their victory dance.
it's extra impressive when you can lasso yourself.
caroline: the heart behind the Dancing Cinderellas.
searching for the perfect jack-o-lantern design. hallie drew up some good options.
trick or treating. i'm not sure there is a neighborhood more festive than ours. many houses set up food and drink buffets in their driveways which set the tone for a fun night for kids and adults.
without warning, caroline would often sit down in a driveway or sidewalk to sneak a piece of candy.

a slice of her day
one of the most frequent questions i get about homeschooling is in regards to little caroline. while i considered finding a vintage playpen to trap her in I also had optimism that I could effectively homeschool while also being intentional with my time with her.
we have our rough patches but by in large its been beautiful. over the last several days i snapped pictures of some of the things she does during school time.
each activity can last anywhere from 30 seconds to 5 minutes.

birthday at the beach
my (sweet, spunky, adventurous, snuggly, glued-to-mommy, lover of chocolate, adored by her sisters) little gal just turned two.
she got to celebrate at our favorite home away from home...charleston.
you are full of life. you run everywhere you go. there is a very literal spring in your step.
i treasure my time with you. you are a jewel.
you are our entertainer. when you realize we are laughing at something you do, you become downright theatrical.
you cling to me. you grip my arms when you lay against me. if i have sleeves you wiggle your hands up my arms so our skin is touching. i love that.
time outs. kisses and sorries. definite parts of our days.
you are growing up. you are pretending. you cook me food in your kitchen while wearing your chef hat. big big milestone.
your sisters think you are wonderful. they think you are hilarious. the three of us girls get tons of smiles and laughs because of you all day long.
