For whatever reason I didn’t get to take a walk yesterday so I made it a point to take a break and pick Mia up from school and spend a few hours in the park with the 2 girls and our friends. We had intentions of a nice, relaxing picnic on the grass, but we never got there as we took a pit stop at the playground. Just as well. Picnics are not really relaxing anymore ever since Mia decided it was ok to sprint across the meadow and keep running, despite my calling after her. And with the 2 of them? I suppose it’s just easier to be in a fenced-in playground. It’s interesting to watch the 2 of them play in the sandbox - they are such different personalities. Mia dives in and pretty much buries herself with handfuls of sand, while Claudine likes to stand outside the rim of the sandbox (and not actually go in) and carefully shovel sand into a bucket. Ah, love them both.
