I want green hair, too

Yep, I always thought it would be pretty darn cool to just walk into the office one day with green hair. But I’ve not done so…though fun to think about it.

The girls did not have to give me a hard-sell for me to allow this but…..word.of.caution….it is messy and sticky. Price of fashion, I guess.

Uh huh – they are saying “Oohh….we got Mom to let us do this!”.

American Girls and their American Girl Dolls

No better way to launch into springtime blogging than to show springtime girls and their dolls. My quartet of models gave me some fine poses. Down below are Nicki, Sammi, then Kendall and Rachel. The four girls are such nice friends. We all live within a couple of blocks of each other and it is atypical when the girls don’t connect at least once/week or so. I sure enjoy having the little girls about….

From the other side of the Windy Path (rhymes with find-dee)

The girls journey back and forth on our Windy Path (yes, it needs capitalization because it is a proper noun for us Windy Path residents...) multiple times during the week. In this case, we have pics from the home that lives on the "other" end of our Windy Path.

Indian Summer Backyard Fun

It was a Golden Indian Summer Carolina November Day. The air was crisp, the sky was blue, the leaves so golden, and the girls….well, the girls were and are just delightful. It was one of those afternoons that make you just so “gosh-darn-glad” that you got to spend it in the backyard talking to the Moms and watching the little girls flit and float and twirl and swirl and dip and tuck and laugh-laugh-laugh in the golden autumn light.
Lots of great captured moments here .. NIcki in blue, Rae,Cat,KK,Sammi in pink
