Indoor Picnic

Here are some photos of the children enjoying a pretend picnic yesterday. It was all Anna's idea, and you can see her preparing everything. She got annoyed with Alexander because he kept messing up her spread before they finally settled down to eat.

Speaking of eating, Anna will eat just about anything, including homemade salsa by the spoonful. Alone. With nothing else on the spoon but the yummy mixture of chopped tomatoes, onions and cilantro. She also loves black olives and pickles. Alexander, like his dad, is a bit more picky and at times it is painful to watch him eat when he chews on a bite for 5 whole minutes. Usually that means he's just not that into the food or simply isn't hungry or, like most recently with his strep throat, is sick. He has taken to stuffing potato chips or French fries into his sandwiches. So cute.

The children both refer to their milk mustaches as milkstaches.
