Every night between dinner and the kids’ bedtime, there is a golden hour of happy kids and beautiful light. It is the time of day that I am the most relaxed and my kiddos are the dirtiest (and I’m often not willing to trade this time of play for a bath). I love the dirt on them. It is childhood at its finest.

Here are a few of my favorite photos of my favorite time of day with my favorite little rascals.
