bsm + sweet charlie art + giveaway winner

I spent Saturday afternoon with my good friend Bridget and a gaggle of girls.

We took them to a nearby park so we could practice shooting with different camera lens. This is one of my favs and is perfect for Best Shot Monday!

Meanwhile sweet Charlie was busy making art at home with his dad. He drew this picture and told me, "This is everyone who lives in my heart and my house - you, Dadda, Sissy, Me and Daisy."

Then, much to my dismay, he tore it in half. When I asked why he did it, he said, "Because Amaya (his cousin) doesn't live here but she has half of my heart, so I need to give her half of my picture."

Then he asked, "Mamma, can you write our names on the top?" Sigh.

Congrats to Dorothy! You won a copy of Ree's new cookbook. I just shot you an email!

Happy Monday everyone!

Great photos......Charlie has the sweetest smile...he is so proud of his picture. Love that we can see some of his favorite things in the background....light saber, stuffed animal, stick horse (required, he is in Texas) and lots books courtesy of his smart, loving parents.

Thanks for sharing.
