You are my sunshine

Some times it's hard for Katie Ray and me to find some "us time", so some days we plan to get up *very* early together. 

There are days that Mac gets up first but now and again we manage to find some mother-daughter time. The other day we managed to sneak out to the kitchen to make cocoa and hang out just us...

when the sun started to come up we went outside to welcome the day!

She is my sunshine!! 😍

First grade work zone

Now that Katie Ray does homework every night we needed to transform her Lego zone into a homework zone!

I promised we could do some redecorating (she's envisioning purple walls, a canopy, and lego project displays) if we could also do some weeding out of toys, knick knacks and general stuff every where.  Negotiations are now in process!

Let's go Fro Yo!

Katie Ray and I slipped out for a little afternoon outing yesterday while Mac napped and Matt nursed his thrown-out back. 

It was HOT this weekend! We needed a cold treat. 

But we also had to do a little Halloween shopping at CVS. 

She suggested I might want to invest in a costume of my own.
