I woke up to another sunny day. But my perspective had shifted and today I could feel it wash over me as it stripped the remaining shreds of disappointment from the last few days away. So when E asked if I'd like to join in her picnic, I couldn't help but say yes. Oh what a feast she prepared.
First she gathered her guests around the "picnic blanket." Do you see where she used a red and white checked potholder for a splash of color?
She was so proud of her picnic, and the fact that what we were really eating off of was a diaper changing mat? Well I hardly noticed it at all!
What a sweet picnic and everything looks delicious. Thank you for stopping by my blog. I love meeting new people.

Ahhhh....I miss those picnics! Leiton used to take our orders and Hali would come out with the splendid meals....Nothing like having a gormet meal at 8 in the morning! Have a great day Vicky!
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet picnic with a sweet girl! So glad you seem to be feeling happier today:) Smiles to you!
ReplyDeleteSo sweet :D Girls have this in them from the very beginning don't they!? Being responsible for everyone's food and being a nurturer in general :-)
ReplyDeleteNice pictures Vicky :-)
How sweet! What a wonderful memory!
ReplyDeleteOh your comment about the dress I made was so kind! I'm so glad the picture I took hides all the flaws I made while sewing! You can really see how crooked my stitches are when you look at it up close! But....it was made for Laney by mommy with lots and lots of love and that's all that matters, right?
ReplyDeleteI love picnics with BIG IMAGINATION on the menu!!! I love the way you think to include such delightful snippets of life as blog posts!!! You always, always make me grin!!! Love you! Janine XO
ReplyDeleteDiaper/Changing cloth or the finest linen tablecloth....what's the difference when you have such a wonderful li'l princess that sets the perfect picnic 'table' for you.
ReplyDeletePriceless....precious!!
Thank you for sharing. This made my day.
Smiles to you from Jackie
My children use to have picnic events too when they were young. We used all kinds of interesting foods to represent "picnic" food. Those days were fun.
ReplyDeleteAww... those are the best kind of picnics. Love that plastic food. I remember spending hours playing with my plastic food stuff when I was a girl.
ReplyDeleteOh, this makes me wonder why we stop using our imaginations.... so darn sweet!
ReplyDeleteOh, Vicky, that was so cute!! She really knows how to do a great lookin' spread. My little guy saw the pics and said, "Mommy I wanna go there!" Love it!!!
ReplyDeletethis was too cute...what a sport you are to have had a a picnic with her...and who knew all the uses for a diaper changing pad....
ReplyDeleteI remember growing up having tea parties with all my animals. It was so special when an adult actually participated! You made her day...and I bet she made yours too!
ReplyDeleteYou are finally getting your "little girl" time. I remember those days. SWEET TIMES! She'll be writing a blog about you one of these days. :) I'd love to read that!
