blink and it's gone.

Sometimes the stars line up and you're able to capture a moment you never even saw coming in the first place...

I love, love, love that picture of the littles!! Taken by the side of the road, in a spontaneous moment, on an otherwise ordinary day.

The back story... It was close to 5:00p and we had just picked up a few last minute ingredients we needed for dinner.  I grabbed a box of cuties because we can't seem to get enough of those! 

I still had the baskets in the back of my car from the school Easter parties and the adorable "You're a Peach" sack actually held a little gift for a friend I had been meaning to drop by her doorstep. 

The azaleas caught my eye as I turned near a doctor's office.  They were beginning to bloom, just like this little pumpkin...one part little girl, one part big girl.

This handsome little fella is a charmer.  He has these gorgeous brown eyes that look deep into yours just seconds before he gives the sweetest hugs you've ever had.  He says things to me like, "Hi there, my dear little mama!" and "I just need to love you!" before planting a sweet one right smack on my face while plopping down on my lap in a fit of three year old giggles.

Thankfully, my littles are used to me saying, "Let's get out of the car real quick..." Sometimes we need to capture a moment because blink, and it's gone.
