it is spring break for cate. our hard working daddy is putting in major overtime during his busy season at work and moving offices. so you know what that means? mccaleb girl time. we have a list of ideas: picnics and reading in the shade, home pedicures, photo shoots, baking, yoga, movies, writing poems, crafts, biking, thrifting...
i'll fill ya in on how it goes because, true to my mother before me, our first activity was cleaning bathrooms and wiping baseboards. also, it is only noon and i've lost my temper (albeit only slightly) twice. i'm doing a little better because my mom would have also made me mop and would have lost her temper not slightly. love you mom, i know you are so much happier where you are now :)
but! we are back on track eating lunch and preparing for reading on the lawn with easter treats. it's 75 degrees and we are ready for some rays of happiness! ps- here's grant and my new favorite picture of cate ever:
who could lose their patience with that amazing, cool, creative girl? this picture reminds me of when she was a newborn, the first thing i noticed was her red red lips. she has always had beautiful red heart shaped lips. i love her! it's going to be a great week.
That picture of Cate with the glasses kills me. She looks so young and grown up at the same time, but mostly she just looks so darn beautiful! Like her momma!

I don't have spring break this week, but my Dad is going out of town which means major mother/daughter time!
