Summer vacation is in full swing, and the kids are having a BLAST!
My work hours are really cut short, but I don't mind.
Summer is all about playtime, not work time, RIGHT?
(Hence no blog posts since Fathers Day -- man, that's some serious blog neglect!)
I have to share these photos with you, though, while my kids finish up watching an iCarly re-run.
Last week I met my annual playgroup in the park.
I've been taking pictures of these kids for a very long time!
Many of them are featured on my website (like HEREand HERE, for example).
This playgroup is a large group of super fun moms whose kids were all born within weeks of each other.
There are older and younger siblings, too, which makes for a big fun pile of crazy photo fun!
It's fun and not insanity because the group is led by a super organized playgroup leader who
keeps this photo day running SO SMOOTHLY I can hardly believe it!
It seemed this year was the year of the GIGGLE.
I was even giggling looking at the photos a few days later on my computer!
Here's one brother and sister giggle pair:
Here are the captain's kids being very goofy on the grass together:
and one more from the grass when I told them they could finally make silly faces (they'd been begging):
Apparantly, a silly face for a 9yr old is impossible without silly hands, too, but I love how
you can still see hints of everyone else's silly faces, too!
And one last goofball duo:

Can you just hear them laughing at each other??
It is impossible for me to pick a few favorite pictures from that day,
but those are among the top.
I think I hear the closing credit music for iCarly, so time to wrap up the typing!
During my next mommy break (AKA Hannah Montana or Spongebob),
I'll be getting this group's gallery online so all the mommies and daddies can see their photos!
Have a great day!
