Watercolor Wednesday's " Play"


Everyday I go to pick my niece and nephew up from school.
Chyna seems to be very popular at school. She always has
a small host of friends saying good bye! It's a whole lot
of hugging and talking and giggling and I love every second
of it! I live for it! he he he!!! Have a great week everyone!

Wow, it looks like someone's burning the midnight oil over there. By golly it paying off too! Great job on this. That part of childhood is priceless and you've really captured it here!

P.S. Thanks for the awesome comments!

The joys of friendships and being able to be a friend is a quality she gets from those around her. Her parents and family to allow her to make friends. You've shown her how to be so open with people by being you. Love you lady!

It's charisma. She has loads of it. And it's obviously a strong genetic trait in your family. :D

Just looking at these happy, carefree kids makes my heart soar. You're the BEST at capturing all the goodness of life.
