things in mind
more modern
memories
to find
that's my dress
when I was two
no wonder
my kitchen
is white and blue
the little things
catch my eye
trigger my heart
move my soul
them at this table
my childhood
table
with my crayons
my childhood
crayons
in my clothes
my childhood
clothes

back
to this time

it just amazes
me
where life can
symbolic be
the giraffe
and
the panda
and me
Love it. You are so poetic and creative. You and your giraffe are definitely seeing the distance. And panda is cuter than ever. I still think she is an old soul in a little body.
ReplyDeleteWhat I love so much about this is that you take the time to share your childhood with your children in so many ways. They are truly blessed to have you for their mommy. It makes me want to stop, breathe, listen and see what was, what is and what can be.
ReplyDeleteLove the costumes!
Those costumes are perfect!! How cute are they?? That is not a question, I mean to make that a statement!!
ReplyDeleteThe giraffe is too much. What a perfect idea. And, the little blue dress is adorable and so meaningful.
You are the kind of art teacher I wish I had because you are obviously so creative and thoughtful in life, which I am sure carries over into your classroom.
Love their little faces. And, his cast! I forgot about it and then I spotted it in a pic. Precious.
Always love your posts. The kids are beautiful as always...but this time I also have to comment on that adorable pic with puppy laying on the floor. So flippin cute!!
ReplyDeleteLove your little clothes on Azalea. How cool!
ReplyDeleteTheir costumes are adorable. I am amazed at how well you entertain two kiddos! Go momma!
