There's a funny story accompanying the photos below. While raking leaves on a gorgeous fall day, I really tried to be a "fun mom" involving the girls in the raking activity. As the afternoon progressed, I found myself becoming quite irritable. I thought it would be so much fun to give rides in the wheelbarrow, only to find myself becoming more agitated. Then of course I felt the need to document the rides, which only caused me to feel like a truly rotten mom for being so bothered the girls would not sit still for the perfect photo op. So, later in the week, the girls had a spontaneous sugarplum fairyesque dance in the living room with darling costumes and it was just so sweet, I decided to not taint the moment with a picture. That pure pleasant picture will just have to stay in my head as a precious memory....

Oh, I can so relate to every word in this post! There is a fine line between capturing moments and ruining them. :) These photos are so cute though! Your girls are beautiful!
You hang on to that precious memory--it will serve you well in about 10 years or so...
it will!
They are such cuties! I can't believe how big they are getting. How time flies! Thanks for sharing the pictures...how fun!
The best laid plans always go awry in reality! I used to think oh someday it will be so fun to bake cookies with my kids. Then we did it and it was a huge mess, which stressed me out and made it no fun at all. Sometimes stopping to capture those moments sucks ALL the fun out of them! You did get some sweet shots though. So cute!
