The Kids Were Here: October| Personal

I am so excited to bring the 4th edition of "The Kids Were Here", a project that a group of Springfield Photographer friends and I are doing as a blog circle this year!  If you missed last month, you can view it here.
I love this quote about the project from one of the original photographers, and think it perfectly describes what we are doing here!
"...It's not really about messes at all, but the stories they tell. It's about traces of childhood I see throughout my home on a daily basis.  It's about the love we share together.  It's about living and being...creating, making, learning and trying.  This project leaves me a beautiful story each month of the reminders that Kids are here now...and the time, well, it's all too fleeting, isn't it?  We all need to embrace these moments and just live them too; because they really are the best moments of life."
-Ginger Unzueta

I have shown one like this before with a doll, but I just love how our boy places his current favorite toy in the shopping cart seat of honor:

(monkeys are his FAVORITE currently, and Halloween will show that!)
Another recent favorite toy:


Loved this lone car left in the rain!

And finally- I have never seen my sweet boy more excited about a toy than when he first saw these dominoes from his nana...he thinks they are just the best to throw all over the place, sort, and move!



Make sure to check out my friend and great photographer Jessica's blog here and complete the circle!!
