summer backyard fun day

here we are in the thick of summer,
having some good old fashion, messy, wet summer time fun!

the day began as we transformed ourselves into super hero ninjas
those squirters from the dollar tree are awesome

 we did a little painting...

 played with a lot of water

and finished it off with an angry birds lunch

i love summer

picnic

herc and i have been loving our summer off, and any opportunity we get for a picnic we take it.

this picnic was across from the glenview train station, so we did some train spotting!

tips for picnicking with toddler: no dips no drips and no utensils!

i like to keep it simple, a ham and cheese sandwich, some kind of a crunchy snack,
some fruit like a grapes, a sucker or gummy bears, a water bottle or juice box.

grab a blanket throw it in a basket or bag whatever and go!

and i just picked up some fun stuff at the container store to make our next picnic a little cuter! Reusable sandwich bags that come in all these adorable animal designs!

enjoy your friends and family and most of all freedom
