{pretty, happy, funny, real}

~ Capturing the context of contentment in everyday life ~

sidenote:

We are in full construction mode of our backyard, giving me almost NO time for picture taking.

I can hear my hubby yelling from across the yard, "Why do you have a camera in your hand instead of a shovel."  Of course it's with a smile and wink ;-)

But this is our week and it has been:

{pretty}

Rose has flowers in her hair through the day.  It's one of her favorite things.  Cute really beacuse she, along with Princess, is super-duper girly.

Feeling pretty is important, even in the midst of dirt and sweat.

{happy}

Max looks happy enough...right?

{real}

The reality of work. 

There use to be a lovely-very shady tree here.  It's gone now, to make room for the pool my hubby bought for himself the kids.  He says it's all for the kids but, secretly I know he dreams of jumping in straight from work.  He works in the sun ALL DAY LONG.  Usually having spent his day climbing 60+ feet of wood.  So I can imagine, and simplize, with the desire of jumping into a pool of cool/refreshing water.

Where's the {funny}?

Well there isn't a picture of it.  But Princess loves to wear her brother's Superman bath robe around the house.  Proclaiming herself

"Karate Girl"

She jumps out at us in the hallway yelling "Aaa-ha" and "Ka-ya" with an extended leg and karate chop to boot.  It's a pretty funny scene.
