“A portrait of my children, once a week, every week, in 2014.”
Saxon: Oh my heart.. That dimple and those fangs get me every time.
Caelan: He claimed to be king of the flowers.
I have always wanted to make a flower crown, but with two boys i don't get to make many pretty things. So it got me thinking...why do we genderize flowers? They are a lovely part of nature, we see them and smell them in the air we breathe all the time.
So i thought, why not just make my son's a flower crown!? Caelan loves to pick flowers, he thinks they smell delightful, and it'll be a fun project for us. We have had all of these lovely frangipanis sitting under our tree lately so i put them to use. Caelan picked the leaves and helped with the flowers. I quickly strung them together and voila! We had a flower crown :)
As you can see, it was a big hit for my boys. They loved it!

YES!! I totally agree with you. The crowns and your boys are beautiful and so are your photos.
ReplyDeleteOh my, get out! These are some of the loveliest photos I've seen in a while!!! The color, the lighting, the softness of their skin and those joyful expressions. What handsome boys you have. And I also commend you on breaking out of the genderized box we live in. I'm guilty of it, but do make an effort to not be. I love so much that you did this and shared it :) Bravo. -Misty
