backyard football | with the T-Man

I was staring at my fabric wall waiting for inspiration. Truthfully, I was trying to talk myself into starting a batch of wine totes but I wasn't "feeling it" so I was resisting. That sounds silly but really it's a regular occurrence. Thankfully, I was distracted by some murmuring and what sounded like distant cheering outside my studio window. Naturally I investigated the noises.
This is my normal view of the backyard from the studio. (Look at all those crazy trees! And we've cleaned up a ton already. So much to be done...but that's another story.)
Then I saw him. The T-Man (his self appointed nickname). He was hard at work...even put on his cleats. I grabbed my camera and snuck some pics as he was running to score the touchdowns.
Recovering the ball.
Making the play.
Punting.
Catching.
Purposely fumbling in order to make the game saving recovery.
Commentating every down, every move. Always the hero...always the best.
I came clean and explained my impromptu surprise photo shoot.
His reply..."Did you get my good side Mom?"
You know it, T-Man!!

so glad it has already found a loving home! :)
still wanted to share a few pics...

two necklaces | one sweet girlie

after having gotten dressed this morning (where i had layered two necklaces that i haven't worn in a while) i emerged from my room and caught my girlie's eye. she gasped, "your necklaces! you are so pretty, mommy!" she jumped off her chair and ran to hug my waist, "you are so pretty, mommy! i love your outfit!" she took a step back and gave me another visual "once over"...smiling. i felt myself smiling and thanked her. 
this morning, i was infused with a boost of confidence from my five-year-old and stood up a little straighter for the rest of the day. i hope i can impress her the same and as easily in ten years. unlikely. so, for now,  i'm going to pick up a few new necklaces...
