surprise {see it snap it love it}

One of the best things about being a child

is that surprise is around every corner.

Everything is new and exciting and unpredictable.

When you add to that the joy that my beautiful boy gets from a simple surprise

like spontaneous games of peek-a-boo

then you have a recipe for adorable-ness.

These photos may not be the most original for such an exciting theme,

but they were the easiest to take.

Five minutes with a soft blanket

and a daddy to play with

and I had a tough time choosing just the one shot.

. . . So here's another one that I love too . . .

Last week's theme was a toughy

because we were challenged to see, snap and love pictures of summer

and then summer promptly upped and left.

But while the theme was tough

choosing a winner was easy-peasy this week.

I just loved this photo:

I love the wellies. I love the stripy trousers and the spotty jumper. I love the beach huts.

I love that joy that kids have in everything around them

and how they don't care if the weather turns a bit grey

as long as they can jump and have fun.

So Mammasaurus' entry wins hands down

and she can show off our Photo of the Week badge if she likes.

And she has chosen the theme for next week.

And that that theme is 'Messy'.

But that is next week . . .

This week it's all about 'Surprise'

so link up your photos,

grab the badge,

tweet @dear_beautiful_ your links

and get round to as many others as you can and show some comment love.
