Today the girls and I decided to let J sleep in and we headed out for a "breakfast picnic" to beat the heat. We stopped at Dunkin' Donuts and the girls picked out a donut and I got an iced coffee - yum. (As an aside, I can't get over how kids get so excited about a treat like a donut, but then when they actually get it, they lick the icing, take one measly bite and they're done...if only I could do that!) We headed to a new park and set up a blanket in the shade, "ate" our breakfast and played on the playground. I even got to read the Sunday paper I had hopefully brought along while the girls played "Mommy" for a while.
We did a little coloring on our blanket and then packed it up for home. It was definitely a great way to spend the morning without all the usual distractions of home, and get some outdoor time before the heat became too brutal. I can see us continuing this tradition for years to come.
