bare toes in the grass...

after a somewhat busied morning with picking up the one of

the kids from auntie's and a few errands and housework...

we put a stop to the day and invited a picnic into our afternoon...

have you ever just done that?

had an idea and you didn't think about it...

you just did it?

something i'm trying to work on...

losing the regimented scheduling girl inside of me...

i'm getting tired of letting the clock run my day...

so as summer is getting closer..

and the days are becoming more lax...

i've decided to let go a little

so far...it feels pretty good...

we picnicked in the front yard on mikey's old quilt...

it was warm and breezy...

perfect weather for sitting in the sun with my 3 little bugs...

we talked about college...dogs...summer plans...swimming and ants

there wasn't one fight...

that always amazes me...

{maybe because i threatened to cancel the picnic if the bickering started

or maybe because i bribed them to behave}

the only thing missing was mr c...

but he was at work...

somebody's gotta bring home the bacon

i wish for these to be the memories that pop up in my children's minds when they are grown

up with little bugs of there own...

...i hope that they reflect back and think of the little simple things

that they had during their childhood...

these are the days that count...

the days that left us with bare toes in the grass
