{this moment} – A Friday ritual.  A single photo – no words – capturing a moment.  A simple, special, extraordinary moment.  A moment I want to pause, savour and remember.

 

“This Moment” is a ritual I found on (click to view—>) Life inspired by the Wee Man adopted from (click to view—>) SouleMama.  Check out their blogs…these are beautiful, and if you are moved too, please leave a link to your Moment in the comment box below.

About SJ

Full Time Working Mum finding her way without a manual because I threw it out the window in the first place. Well, I was never good with rules or instructions and it's way more fun to discover things for myself along the way :)

   I love this! I don’t think the kids here would be brave enough to wear that costume. Samuel does it well.

     It was some world people day but had to be a person from France, Spain, Latin America or Italy, there was some serious head racking going on but all turned out great in the end

       Wow! It seems Samuel has more fun with school than I ever did. The only time that we ever had an opportunity to dress up when I was in school was during Halloween =)

   Great job mom, amazing make-up and photos. What fun you must have had. I kinda miss those rushed and innocent times.

     Yep Jan I totally relate, there are times now when I see really little ones and I miss those times. Every so often I think that they are all gone and then this happens oxox

     Thank you hunni, you know what it’s like when the pressure is on. If I’d planned it when I first knew about it, he’d of gone as a cowboy which is what he wanted – nothing to do with the theme of the day but saying that for the resistance I got – he came out of school one very happy bunny

     Anything that involves dressing up or acting is fab, I have told him he MUST under no uncertain terms stay IN character all day. I don’t think that will last though

    Love the costume… great moment! Isn’t it funny how mom’s forget, but them whip something up in two shakes of a lambs tail? Later we sit back and think “phew, I pulled that one off and “it looked GOOD too!”

    Thanks for sharing

      Ha Ha – this is what happens when Samuel tells me the night before he needs a costume for school (admittedly he did tell me a week ago but I forgot) so at 10 to 8 this morning I snapped him before he went off LOL
