While the cat is away...

the mouse will play.  The cat being Gabriel in this scenario.  Poor little Lorelai is often told what she can and cannot play with on a daily basis.  Pretty much by Gabriel.  I'm only a stickler for things like...stealing knives out of the dishwasher while momma is trying to close it up.  And while I do my best to try to explain sharing to Gabriel...obviously it's not a 2 year old concept.  I understand this, but I still beat my head against a wall trying to help him figure it out.  lol

But, while he is gone...we have lots of fun playing with everything.  But, mostly she wants to just be outside and tell me about what she sees...
 or tell Paisley.  Really she'll tell anyone who will listen.
Sometimes we even have lunch outside.  But, before we have lunch we must always wash our hands...
 A picnic was a great idea, Momma!
