on the best day of spring so far....

it's perfectly normal to wear your shoes on the wrong feet
and
giggle with your sister
and
to push and shove and make somebody cry
while getting to the top of the jungle gym


it's even okay to be really silly
while trying to hide your face from the goofy lady with the camera
but
the best part of
"on the best day of spring so far"
is
letting your little bare piggies play in the grass

and
learning to be friends with the lady bugs that land in your hair
*
this is a sneak peek from a totally adorable impromptu photo shoot
with
3 1/2 year old triplets and their 1 1/2 year old little brother
~~
next time
we'll get their older brother in on the act
but
right now his spring days are filled with kindergarten
*
and
just so you know
in my next post
you will showered with more of these adorable kids
and
all their sweetness
*

Enjoy spring time frolicks...still cloudy here but warm and sun is on the way, they say. Kind of need it...in the mean time, I will try and remember the kiddo way - play the day away...

I'm into bare toes in the grass. What a feeling of freedom. We were in flip flops and shorts yesterday. These are lovely photos, fun and spontaneous. I know that you have a special way with children because the child in me responds to you so well.

Dear Beth,

Thanks for sharing these wonderful photos. I have triplets who are 5 and an older son who is 7. We have many days just like these! I love your magical blog. Your sentiments touch the spirit of the day at the playground perfectly!

I'm enjoying green tea and your blog.
Hugs, Rebecca in Massachusetts

What's another word for ADORABLE?

Jeanie said...

Look at those clean pink and white soles! Shoot soon -- if the weather stays like this, they'll be grassy and muddy soon. But the smiles will be just as happy.

Isn't this glorious?

Bare Piggies - already? My Mom, born in 1911, was a triplet - then I had twins and one of my twins had twins...

My 39, 27, and 25-year-olds are in Las Vegas this weekend for the middle one's bachelor party. These pictures bring tears to my eyes, remembering when Alex and Jeremy were toddlers, under the watchful eye of older brother, Shawn. Wonderful spring photos, Beth.
