Rainy Days

As I was snapping these pictures Jordan said, "Do you mind, I'm trying to eat?" Come on son, you should be used to this by now.

 

 

It was a gray dreary day here in good old West Texas. The kind that inspires a few lit candles & something sweet & warm to eat. At our house, rainy days usually call for hot chocolate with whipped cream & sprinkles + buttered toast soldiers for dipping. It's a long standing tradition. We usually all trudge into the house around 4:00 ish. Tea time! It's nice to take a breather & catch up with my little peeps before we start homework, dinner, baths, packing up lunches, & the likes of all that mayhem.

 

Today was especially nice. Jordan being the busy boy that he is, skidaddled pretty quickly, so that left just Chloe & I. We had a lovely little chat over our steamy cups of warm bevs--frothy decaf coffee (me) & afore mentioned hot cocoa for her.  I thought that she was too dadgum cute not to photograph the entire convo. She is so expressive. She talks with her hands. As you can see. She talked about mean boys & the "consequences" for their behavior. She talked about her friend Karma. But THE highlight of her day was when "the big kids high fived her in the hall".

 

 

 Then she laughed & flashed that show stopper smile of hers. Her smile makes me happy. Simple as that.
