I took it as a sign when The Mama of da brudders sent an email saying "I've got to get out of the house this weekend" and The Claw sent an email within the hour saying "Have you ever gone on a picnic down by the river?" and the weather people said the sun would shine. She picked the time, he picked the place, I packed the picnic (sandwiches like Mr. Sophanne makes for my lunches- they get such rave reviews at school), and the sun came through.
We threw balls, played with trucks, played in sand, slid down poles and fed the geese. And there was zero whining or crying from anyone-just a lot of playing in the sunsilence- the kind that cleanses rain-worn weariness. Just happy kids. Actually the fact that there was NONE of that IS kind of weird. But not as weird as this:
This kid's mom spent her time at the park talking loudly on the cell phone, eating chinese food, and ignoring the fact that her kid was bullying other kids. She might have spent her time better checking out what the other kids were wearing.

Yup, that is weird. Kids who receive proper attention from their parents don't usually run around playgrounds dressed like Thor and being a pain in the hind end...smh (shakin' my head)
Lovely outing! Glad everyone had a good time.
The pictures of my kids are, obviously, adorable, but the "superhero" is hysterical! Somehow it is funnier on the blog than it was in real life! I wish you were exaggerating about the mom but that's an accurate description.
Thanks for a great day... If you get those sandwiches made for you on a regular basis, you are one lucky lady!
