Well now how could i be feeling 'down' when i have that little guy to make my rainy day sunny :)
So Sam and I have now decided that tomorrow, no matter what the weather, we are going to Gloria Jeans to do one of favourite things together, sit in a big comfy chair by the window with an Iced Chocolate with cream (yes even on a cold day its soooo GOOOOOD)and a piece of warm Banana Bread. Yummy. I love that my son will do these things with me. Its so cool.We just sit there together and chat away :) I hope he remembers these moments as he grows up.
ANYHOO on this Rainy Monday (queue that Carpenters song again)i have tried my best to capture what little light there was so that i could photograph some items to list on Ebay this afternoon.
Heres a little peek at what ive been up to.

P.S. My sister spells her name shannon the same as you which is quite rare in the UK as its the irish spelling.
When my oldest boy, who is now nearly 17, was young and I was going through a divorce, every Monday night was "special night". We dragged the futon cushion out to the living room floor, watched movies and ate junk food. We still talk about those nights! Sam will remember & you'll treasure the conversations! Blessings... Polly
