I'll Melt With You
Monday, October 20, 2008 at 06:00AM It's so strange how come Monday I have a hard time remembering what we did over the weekend. Sometimes I have to think about it pretty hard. Oh, it's coming back to me. Friday night, we went to the club for smores! They offer it to the kiddos a couple of times a year and it's a hit every time.
Natalya with one of her BFFs from school. The sun was setting so everything was glowing orange.
Our cutie pie friend Barrett. I think his eyes say it all.
Another cutie pie friend Trevor. He doesn't have a smore in his his mouth but I'm guessing he had a few.
And then the V. Vienne started with the full smore. The next one came apart and she at it in pieces. Then she quickly realized that what she really wanted was the chocolate. So she ditched the smores and just ate chocolate from the bowl. None of these are really great shots but this will be My Best Shot.
Saturday was a very full day. We spent the majority of the day at Natalya's school for their annual fun run/country fair. Food, bouncey houses, games, snow cones. Can't ask for more than that. The school also had a silent auction with items that were donated. I didn't realize that I was bidding on so many items until we were lugging home 5 baskets that we apparently has won. That evening the girls got to have smores again as the neighbors across the street invited us over for saugages and smores by the fire. They played into the darkness and listened to the fire pit crackle. I could only see shadows of the kids playing kickball. It reminded me of when I was little, playing kickball and man hunt in the dark.
Sunday, we rested.
Natalya and I had a talk last night about friends. She realizes how lucky she is to have so many friends around to spend time with. It is nice knowing that the girls are growing up with so much love and friendship around them.
I have so many sessions to post. Someone kick me in the butt.

Mmmm. smores - nothing better! Your neighborhood sounds wonderful. Yay for lots os sessions!
those are great pics...and sounds like a great time and great MEMORIES!
I often have a hard time what we did yesterday, so I understand not remembering the weekend. And this weather is perfect for smores, outside after dark. What a great idea!
The pumpkin patch was fun. I do love the small town feel of Boerne. You are blessed to be in that place, as Natalya noticed - to be lucky enough to have so many great friends. These are fun times, for sure!
what yummy shots! love s'mores. :)
S'mores are the best. Great shots!!
mmmmmmm, i love s'mores! great shots. :)
Your smores pictures are wonderful. I love the setting sun behind the kids too. Nice lighting. Makes me hungry for a smores!
Yes, it sounds like you live in a great neighborhood and town. Smores, smores, smores...nothing better!
Can't wait to see your sessions - I"m sure they are fab, but I understand the lack of time. It takes some "alone time" to get it done and with kids that rarely happens.
Oh, I think they are all BSMs! And so yummy, yummy, yummy!
I am anxiously awaiting the session, too. *kick*
This looks delicious. And I am right there with V: the chocolate is totally the best part for me! I just ferret out the hershey bars and go to town.
S'mores are definately a hit with the kids! That looks like a great time. How wonderful that Natalya realizes how lucky she is to have great friends in her life. What a smart little girl.
How fun! It's great that your community does such fun stuff!
I love the lighting in the first shot. I also now have a craving for Smores! How many Weight Watchers point are they (LOL)?
To be surrounded by friends, Lucky girls.
Busy weekend, but FUN
All of that hill country beauty in the background of the first shot makes me homesick! What a fun few days you guys had! Nothin' better than smores....
What a rich, full day and what great shots. The light is fantastic. LOVE it!
Fantastic shots! And yummy looking treats...now I want some s'mores!
Seeing those smores is making me craze some right now!!! That's a really cool tradition.
Can you explain smores to me? Some people seem to talk about roasting marshmellows as smores and stilll others as something rolled up and cooked on the fire. Are there many varieties? Are smores anything sweet cooked on a fire?
The sunset here gives these shots a lovely glow. Sounds like a perfect weekend.
