the kids begged me to let them play outside.

no, I'm serious.

but they sort of insisted and I figured, eh - why not?

so they ran around like little hooligans!

chasing each other.

I think I sat her here for a time out?!

 goodness look at those allergy shiners!

I took many photos of the sky!

at first, just because it looked so cool ... but just after going outside I thought 

of something - an idea struck me!  so I really starting snapping pics!

 

what was the idea?

well, I've been working on Zoey's room - 

one of my projects was going to be a painting saying 

"you make me happy when skies are gray"

(to go with the "you are my sunshine" painting I was also working on)

anyway, I though a nice photo art piece might be cool -
