Indoor Picnic

They say that in Virginia Beach if you don't like the weather, wait a minute, it'll change. Well today it started out downright chilly, then warmed up on our way home from a playdate, then got chilly again as we arrived home. I had promised the girls a picnic when we got home, so we ended up eating on the floor of the living room on a big blanket. Despite the poor scenery, the kids loved it. Caleb has been eating more solids, and he kept trying to steal everyone else's food. He figured out that by pulling on the blanket, other people's food moved closer to him, so we all had to guard our meals. At one point he got a goldfish, a bottle of water, and his bowl of squash (which he tipped over, to his delight) within a one min. period, each time grabbing a new contraband item whilst I was confiscating other banned items from him. He's going to be an eater, that's for sure! It didn't help that the girls kept aiding and abetting him, feeding him crumbs from peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and peices of apple when I wasn't looking, much to my terror and chagrin. Here's a picture of the little darlings, and my dirty little food thief.
