Donuts in the Park

We took the kids to Lake Cliff Park on Saturday morning to have a breakfast picnic.  We did that with Mia last summer, and it was nice to be at the park when there weren't many other people.  Mia remembered the squirrel that she threw pieces of her donut to last year.  Her memory is amazing.  She remembers things that I would think she had long forgotten.  We spread our blanket out by a fountain that was topped with what I believe is a pineapple.  Mia was certain that it was an ice cream cone.  I told her that we would have to agree to disagree on that one.  It was nice to sit there by the rose bushes and eat donuts on a beautiful morning.  We took the long way around to go back to our car so that we could walk through the park a little.  Mia loves to collect things as we go.  She picked a few flowers, an acorn, and a stick that she claimed was her magic wand.  Her imagination is so fun right now.  I love to listen to her talking to her baby dolls and stuffed animals.  She's the boss and makes sure that they know it.  Haha!

Today was a quiet day at home.  Quinn didn't nap for very long stretches during the day and wanted to eat every couple of hours.  My best guess is that he's going through a growth spurt.  During his few short naps, Mia and I played with Mr. Potato Head and PlayDoh.  She doesn't like to be cooped up in the house, but I still have to get the hang of taking both kids out by myself.  I would imagine that it's an acquired skill.

 I think Quinn wanted a donut too.
 I still say that it's a pineapple.
 Quinn chilled out when we started walking.
