shtuff

a couple of months ago.... halloween time..... mia painted a pumpkin and herself. she also created a hand print thank you card for a dear friend. i've always loved how she applies 'makeup'...lips, nail polish.... and maybe a little hair color for good measure.

ahhh my sous chef helping make mac n cheese...so thick the spoon stood up on it's own. mia thought it was quite tasty.

ohhh the beautiful salwar kameez from the lovely Anjalika. Mia wore it to the Diwali celebration at Terra Luz. lovely. lovely. lovely.

Catch Me if You Can...

...I'm the Gingerbread Man!

This morning was wonderfully spent at fellow O'Mama Andrea's house...this is Colton's mama, not to be confused with Andrea from Casa T & Sophia's mama :) She went ALL out! Had gingerbread man coloring pages for the kids to color, an AWESOME story time about a Gingerbread Baby that had Mia on the edge of the rug, AND homemade gingerbread dough! The kids took turns cutting out their very own gingerbread men and when they were out of the oven and cooled, they got to ice them all by themselves...the icing was a little tough, so the mamas helped out with a good squeeze. It was the BEST time, and Andrea promised that next time, the mamas could make their own cookies ;) Oh, I think she should do this EVERY year :) :) :) Can I RSVP now?

I also had a wonderful time documenting all that went on. Andrea's kitchen was full of natural light and all the kids were beyond adorable. I ended up with 85 shots or so! Here are some of my faves...the rest are on my flickr.
