Welcome Spring!

We went to the Park today and enjoyed the beautiful sunny weather! It was in the mid 60s and just lovely. We brought a picnic lunch and just enjoyed the sunshine. Emma is so funny. She doesn't quite get that a picnic IS lunch. We ate sandwiches, cucumber, apple, pretzels and fruit snacks at the park. On the way back home in the van Emma said she wanted to eat lunch when we got home. I tried to explain that we already ate lunch. She insisted that a picnic is just a snack. (She even told me exactly what she wanted to eat when we got home: noodles with sauce, green beans, and orange.) What a funny girl. She ended up forgetting about it when we got home (must be her belly really was full!) And, bonus for our day in the sun: all three of them are napping right now! (Emma usually doesn't)

Emma insisted on helping make the sandwiches for the picnic. I should encourage her- just think about how wonderful her help will be when she is a little older and so capable!
Grant's first time in a swing.
The girls loving life!

  2. Wow! I can actually comment because I am using my hubby's computer! But it looks like you are having fun in D.C. and we should hang out next week when we get back.

    Oh! And by the way, you are not legally required to pay the photo-cop tickets you get in the mail because they have no proof you received it. You only have to pay a ticket if it is physically handed to you. So don't pay!

  3. I want spring too! That looks lovely. I long for a picnic that turns into a snack.
