{It's the Little Things // A day off of school}

Mason had no school yesterday for a fair day so we got to spend the entire day together. It was perfect for a Monday after camping. Oh how I wish we had off every Monday after a weekend trip. Mason was able to sleep in a bit {and me as well} and then just hang out all day.

He helped me tidy up the house and then played with his big foot people toys and watched a movie while I worked. At lunch time we went and got McDonalds {his choice - yuck!}. We also visited the dollar spot at Target and scored big time. Mason left with a light-saber, glow in the dark spider webs to decorate the porch, light up Halloween rings & halloween socks. I got a chalkboard tray, a chevron pumpkin and a fall sign and also a chalkboard to make a weekly menu sign for the kitchen. I put the pumpkin, tray and fall sign on our DIY coffee table.

Later that afternoon Mason Wolverine helped me bake ghost sugar cookies. He was so excited to be able to put the cookies on the tray all by himself...and to eat them afterwards too, of course. I just love spending time with him!

While the cookies were baking he took a break and played on his iPad.

It was the perfect day with my little man. We sure did miss Daddy, though. I can already tell how much I am going to cherish his random days off of school. He reminded me all day of just how much he is growing up...using words like regeneration and such. It's so bittersweet. I love hearing about the things he learns in school, counting by 5s & 10s, and reading everything in sight, but I also miss him being a little tot.

Oh and a cute thing I want to remember - this morning when I was waking him up I was cuddling him and I said "you may be five and big, but you're still my baby" he said "Yes ma'am". I asked him if when he is big and married and has kids of his own if he will still be my baby and he says, "Yep, even if I still love Minecraft." haha! Goodness, I adore this boy!

  7. I wish Mondays were a mandatory part of the weekend! Two days is simply not enough.
    Those Target finds are SO cute! I feel like our Target kind of slacks in the One Spot department.
    You and Mason had the sweetest little day together. Those are the best!!

  11. Aww, he says the cutest things! Sounds like a perfect mother/son day. Although pretty much any day that includes target is bound to be good ;)
