Grumpy Picnic

This year, I made a committment to try all kinds of new things with the kids.  Even when I am tired, they are not.  Even when I don't want to play playdoh again(or really clean it up), they do.  When I would rather sit on the couch and watch tv, they want to paint or explore outside or dance.  They are not weary from the day to day of life.  They are full of life.  From the second they get up, they are waiting to see what the day brings.  They are in learning mode 24/7...I decided this year that I was going to be intentional with the stage.  And there are days where the day to day just happens, but we have been having a blast this year with painting, stickers, games, new sights, activities, playdates, and learning.  So, today, I decided we would have a picnic and make our lunch a little more exciting.  Thank you pollen for keeping our picnic inside the garage. 

Who wouldn't want a picnic in an adorable picnic table(thank you Grandma Sandy) with your yummy lunch that Mommy made with your favorite sister?  Of course, what I was really thinking was...ok, little boy...do you know how much time this is taking to have a picnic instead of just tossing your food to you in the kitchen?  Do you know what else I could be doing instead of trying to have fun with you?  Do you know how many starving kids in Africa...wait, I didn't go that far...but you get the point. 

Apparently...Mr. C was not impressed.  Well, I figured that Callie shouldn't be punished for his behavior, so Mr. C got a nap and Callie got to have a picnic.
