A Day At The Park

Another summer day, another picnic. 

(Probably the most attractive picture of me ever taken doncha think?)

I think we eat lunch at home about once a week during the summer. It is just too beautiful outside to sit at the kitchen table!

My sons.  With skinned up knees.  Those poor little knees never have a chance to heal! As soon as they do the boys fall again and the process starts over.  Boys + summer = banged up skin I’m figuring out.

What more do you need beyond a river and some sticks?  Oh, and in this picture they are poking a dead fish. I had no idea until after I snapped the picture and Grayson asked me, “Mommy, why isn’t that fish swimming very much?”

This is Adelyn’s new scared face.  I melt from the cuteness. (She wanted us all to do it in the pic above)

Charmer. 

Can I just share one more story in relation to this peach?  Last night her and I made a grocery run together.  We were waiting at the check out line and all the sudden I notice this puddle on the floor under our cart.  I had put some laundry detergent on the bottom and thought for sure it was leaking.  I started inspecting the bottle and it too was all wet.  I was checking it over for a leak until Adelyn pipes in, “Pee-pee Mommy.”  She started lifting up her dress and sure enough – she was soaked.  It was one of those moments where you’re just not sure where to begin.  I had some wipes in my purse, so I was able to clean the floor and the detergent bottle. I finished our purchase and changed Adelyn in the car.  As a parent you just never know what’s going to happen in any given day.  I like the spontaneity. 

*I’m not in love with our new blog header – but was ready for something different and just didn’t have a picture that I really wanted to put in there yet.  I want to make some major changes to this blog – but time is a factor and I just can’t find much of it to use on things like that.
