Scene: Poker night! No Daddy, so Mommy has big plans for pictures.
Action: Pick up kids, make pb&j sandwiches for the car, find photo worthy clothes or at least non-filthy-they’ve-been-at-daycare-all-day-long clothes. Bring wet wipes to clean faces when we get to the park.
Cue dialogue:
Mommy: We are going to the park tonight, okay?
K & A: Park! We love the park!
Mommy: Before we go to the park I need you two to change and you have to let me take pictures m’kay??
K & A: Awwww….pictures! *chagrin*
Mommy: You want to go to the park don’t you??
K & A: *sigh* Okay, mommy.
**mommy rubs her hands together as she sees her evil plan work**
The Sunshine…or sunset I should say.
Our little pieces of sunshine.
What sunshiney-ness do you have for Theme Thursday? 🙂
GORGEOUS shots Stacy! I had to use some old sunshine shots…but that still counts, right?!

Dolls! Both of ’em.
Theme Thursday! Hmm. Third party Thursday potentially could be my theme. But I have a long day ahead, so my post may just turn into Fird party Friday. We shall see.
Stacy, gorgeous kids, gorgeous photos–the light is beautiful and I love your plan for getting it.
Every day when I leave work I think, “oh the light is perfect now!” I am hatching a plan to use your strategy and get some of those glorious late afternoon photos. Thanks for the inspiration.
I’ll be back later with my photo post, but just had to comment!
The one of the two of them together at the end of the dock…Oh! I LOVE it! What a beautiful photograph. They’re all lovely, of course, but that one just reaches out and grabs me! Great work! YAY for cooperative kids!
Such a good idea with the bribing! I love that sunset shot.
Here is my bright spot for the week.
Lovely photos! Look at those fall leaves, too. SO beautiful!!
I have a few photos up, that just happen to be OF one of my beautiful sunshines, with the sun in his hair. 🙂

Stacy I am confused!!!! You have changed your site while I was away and I can’t find the Theme Thursday Theme except at the bottom which says ‘multiples’ so I’m guessing that’s NEXT Thursday’s theme?
Is this theme Sunshine?
Regardless of my confusion….my goodness those photos rock! Is that your ‘park’???? What happened to a corner full of weeds and a few swings? Your park is idyllic!!! It seems to have a whole lake!!!!!!!!!!
I have been missing Theme Thursdays and a chance to pop in on all your cute-onistas and your amazing and inspirational sewing. I love holidays. If all I had to do was be a mum and keep the house clean I think I could manage it. Couldn’t quite get the garden in there hahahha. Give me a shout out if sunshine is right cos I will go and look for something…..
Ciao Bella
The pictures on the dock are my favorite. The colors are so suiting.
LOVE that one of the two of them together on the dock! Gorgeous. You seem to have better success than I do with planning a shoot with your own kids. LOL. And I just can’t get enough of Anya’s jacket.
I stretched the theme a bit, but I am playing this week. 🙂

I wanted to get some sunset or sunrise pictures, but it just didn’t happen. Yours are magnificent. I absolutely love the first one, but of course they are all brilliant.
Here’s mine:

I love light photo’s. I caught a few nice ones last week. I hope you can enjoy! Evening light is just so magical to me.

Oh…that one at the end of the dock is just divine! I love it. I am catching up from the entire week! SO I didn’t even see the theme this week. I have some that I’ll try to get up later, since our wedding we threw yesterday was at the beach, and it was sunny! However…it was 1:00 – so the light is pretty harsh and the shade photos are not stellar. We’ll see what I can do.
The two of them at the end of the dock.
WOW
I just sighed and took it in and threw more meaning into it than just a beautiful picture.
Imagine them again in high school.
Getting ready to set sail and choosing (of a million different choices) which path they want to go down. Still brother and sister no matter which way each goes.
Here they are at a crossroads in this picture. Absolutely beautiful children who are siblings – that bond that will change as they get older, but never lose the intensity of their simple “togetherness”.
Sorry – the picture just really “got” me 🙂
Beautiful shots Your kiddos are beautiful and I love her coat. But that first shot is amazing! A framer for sure.
All wonderful photos Stacey!!! I love the one of the two of them on the pier especially. We were also at the park, and got a couple of flare shots as well as a monkey bar accomplishment!!!

Those are all gorgeous, Stacy! I love the fall leaves…we don’t get a ton of red/orange around here…so, it is nice to see!
But, my favorite of the bunch is the two of them at the end of the dock!! LOVE it!!!
ok….NOW I have a sunshine link
which doesn’t appear to work…..

What lovely shots! The sunset and Autumn trees are beautiful. Not to mention those kids!
Here’s mine http://justaddcolor.blogspot.com/2008/10/theme-thursday-sunflares-in-my-camera.html
Gorgeous photos, as usual, Stacy! I need to bribe my children more, so that I can get some decent shots. I, also, need to gets some more skills. 🙂
I’ve been neck high in kids this week, so I didn’t get to get out and use my camera. But, here are some sunshine photos that I took a couple of weeks ago.

That sunset is amazing. Great shots you oh so sneaky Mommy! 🙂
I saw that this week was sunshine…and I didnt even think about it when I posted my shots, but I’ve done sunflare. So I say that goes with this weeks Theme!
Sunflares
Your kids are such troopers. Although mine would be like park did you really say park can we go yet can we go yet? We can’t get into the truck anymore without him asking if he can go to the park. 😉
You sun shots turned out great, especially that first one. I love the orange over the water. I admit, I faked mine this week. 😀

I absolutely love the picture of the two kids at the end of the dock. Looks light the light was just perfect. My sunshiny pics are up. Happy Sunshine:)
Your pic’s are stunning!!!!! which brings me to my question? Rach has been hinting at a new and better camera. our S3is is an ok one but she has been wanting a better one. Hopefully she won’t read any more comments on this post:) could you Email me with some info on the camera you use? she actually talked about it to me awhile back. I think that she talked to you about it after you posted some other comments, about photography? I was thinking about getting one for her for Christmas, and if I’m gonna spend that much I want to get her a good one, and one she wants.
Thanks Stacy, your blog is gr8……..Being computer challenged is frustrating, not sure if you will see my Email addr. and not sure if I am supposed to flash it here? and if you say anything on her blog she will see it:( if I don’t hear back I will try another tack to get in touch. Thanks for any help you can give..
I LOVE the one of them down by the water!
