Much to the boys' delight, I packed a picnic supper to take to the pool. They loved opening the different containers and munching & slurping on soup and sandwiches and lemonade-much more exciting than dinner at the boring ol' supper table. Overcome with the novelty of picnicking, Noah says to me, "Dis soup is a piece of art." Not to be outdone by his younger (and more romantic) brother, Ethan chimes in with," Mom, you're the best trophy wife ever!"
The next time I receive such romantic, competitive compliments, I hope to have taken a shower, not worn my hair in ponytail all day, and to have changed from my house cleaning shorts & pink GRITS t-shirt! NOT the attire of a trophy wife!
fyi: GRITS (girls raised in the south)
Isn't it funny how the simplest things make the kids SO happy! Like packing up dinner and taking it to the pool... I love it! (I'm sure they did also!) :)
