A Picnic

If you live where we live you know that today was absolutely beautiful. We've been suffering in 95+ degree weather for at least three months. Today we got a break of a glorious 81 degrees.

I decided that such wonderful weather called for a picnic. So we packed up a lunch and went out to the front yard (real adventurous, I know!). Have I ever mentioned how Tavis like to ruin pictures?To prove that I was there -

Before we started eating I asked the kids to say a Thanksgiving prayer, I always enjoy hearing what they pick to be thankful for. Mollee was thankful that she could go to a Christian School and have such great friends. Tavis was thankful for a Mommy that would let them have a picnic. Daegan was thankful for the cooler weather (I think I just heard Moriah snicker). Capps was thankful for Keegan. Mac was thankful for Jello. I was thankful for Daddy's job that he loves, even if he had to work today and miss our picnic.
