Painting Umbrellas

We had craft week last week at our house. My two oldest kids are off to preschool next week, so I wanted to do something fun (and cheap) before they went back to school. Day one of craft week included umbrellas, paint, and squirt guns. My kids love umbrellas. I don't know what it is, but they just love them. It doesn't matter whether it's raining or not, they will walk around with their umbrellas. Weird, I know. They have pretty much destroyed their old umbrellas, so Emma and I went and picked up some new umbrellas. Emma somehow found the only pink umbrella which was hiding behind all the others. That's my Emma. I put their initials on the umbrellas, filled some squirt guns with paint and the kids went wild.





Noah thought it would be hysterical to paint his sister. Not gonna lie, I thought it was pretty funny too.
And this was the after math of the paint war.

Not a drop of rain in sight, but Emma was running around with her umbrella as soon as it was dry.

The Wells Family: Chesapeake Photographer

This weekend I had the pleasure of photographing an amazing family. I met Amy several years ago when our oldest kids were in a play group together. Shortly after that their daughter, Ella, was diagnosed with a brain tumor. She is the most amazing little girl I have ever met. She has always got a smile on her face and joy spilling out of her. Their son, Parker, is such a cutie and loves his John Deer tractors (he would actually probably correct me for not calling it by the right name). Rick and Amy make such a great team and are great parents. Amy is getting ready to shave her head along with 45 other moms of kids with cancer. If you would like to support her in this click here.
