Picnics and Pics. . .And DANGEROUS toys, oh my!

We enjoyed a weekend of picnics this month. . .one at the park, which was a blast. One at Costco, complete with a hot dog, a piece of pizza, a chicken bake, capri sun's (compliments of Mommy), on a picnic blanket in the back of the van. . .Let me just interject here and say that Peyton ate the whole piece of pizza, sans the toppings, Gracyn ate a little of everything, no surprises here, and me, I soaked up the memories. . .

The Kodak Moment
Peyton feeding Gracyn HIS pizza, and letting her have some of HIS drink, because Gracyn quickly consumed hers with the hopes of getting her hands on that big red cup with a straw that Daddy was enjoying.

Me: I wish I had my camera.

Peyton: I wish I had a "brudder" - (aka brother)

Peyton (in the car): When I get bigger I can watch the baby and can I have a dangerous toy? Cuz when you're big, you can have dangerous things, right, Mom? (The result of mommy saying, "No, no, that's dangerous. When you get bigger, you can learn to use a knife. . .or the big red scissors. . .or the bathroom cleaner. . .)

I finally installed PhotoShop. . .I struggled at first, well, I'm still struggling. . .I mean learning, through the "guided" process. Some of my favorites from our day at the Park.

Peyton isn't much for pictures. . .He is a thinker though. . .an old soul. And if I'm lucky I can catch a shot with a smile instead of his normal crinkled brow and intense "thinking" look. . .

 

Gracyn is super photogenic. A far cry from her first pictures where I had to avoid her seeing the camera or she'd block her eyes, or squint them closed.

 

I love this photo of Peyt. . .captures his active approach to life including a bounce in his step!

 

My baby girl has the most beautiful eyes and lashes I can only wish for!
