The Chalk Walk

We spent Saturday afternoon at the Chalk Walk in the historic Northeast neighborhood of Kansas City.  There were people there of all talents - from really, beautiful complicated chalk art to local neighborhood kids that requested their own square to decorate.  We got there just as the festival was starting, so we didn't see too many completed projects (and then it rained today, so we couldn't go back), but we managed to borrow some colorful chalk and we left our own little mark on a secluded sidewalk at the park.

Just spending the weekend enjoying the simple things. Hope you are too!

The MOMENT

Here we are.

I need a shower . . . and some highlights.

My kids are dirty . . . like over-the-top-we-just-ate-chocolate-ice-cream-bars-all-over-our-faces dirty.

BUT . . . the moment is lovely. The MOMENT is fun.

The MOMENT is why I took and posted this picture.

I want my kiddos to remember these MOMENTS. What about you?  What do you want to remember?

Important

They say it's the most important meal of the day. . .

She Calls Him Baa-Baa

Not sure where she got the name, but they've become the best of friends.

My peeps:

Love these guys!

Around Here

We wait patiently for dinner. . .

Kansas City Classic Car Museum

We went to the KC Classic Car Museum today.  My boys love classic cars.

I can see why. (PS - I've told my husband that that little red bus up there would be a wonderful anniversary/birthday/Christmas/etc gift!)

Anticipation

He saved for over a month for this . . . He's one excited boy tonight!

Practice Makes Perfect

We're getting ready for the St Jude Trike-A-Thon.

Fun Times!

Film Is Not Dead

I got my first images back that I took with my NEW camera - a lovely 1965 Yashica 1C Lynx Rangefinder.

Here's a few of my favorites:

FILM is most definitely NOT dead . . . I just wish it didn't take me so long to go through a 36 exposure roll of film.

(Film used: Kodak Portra 400)

Early Easter Evening

We spent Easter evening outside.

It was beautiful . . .

And so are they . . .

There are a lot of blessings to count today.

Happy Easter.

Stolen Thunder

I thought it would be fun to color Easter Eggs today. 

It was.

 

That was UNTIL Dad came home with his old Star Wars toys.

Suddenly, my little pastel eggs weren't so fun any more.

 

What was old is new again, and they couldn't love it more!

After Dinner Fun

We took some old bread down to our local park and fed the geese.

 

Fun times!
