OUR FIRST PICNIC OF THE YEAR

Thursday, 7 September 2017

I can not believe this is the first picnic we have managed to have. Summer this year has been non existent. We made the most of last week and headed out ,picnic in tow, to the nature field by our home. I have found it very hard juggling a newborn and making sure the girls have quality time with me, so this day out we were all looking forward too.

We packed some cards, our big skipping rope-we are loving double dutch at the minute and Nila's babymoov tent, which she loves!.

We literally had nothing in the house,was due a food shop desperately but i managed to make my homemade potato salad, which is the girls favourite, and the usual, sandwiches,crisps and chocolate of course.

We had such a lovely afternoon, spent hours just being with each other you know? no housework, bottle washing, no 'one minute'.

We sang along to music, played cards for ages! 'Go fish' can last for ages, i didn't win, Kadiann decided to 'attack' me and pinch all my cards!

Nila was so well behaved, which i was dreading if i am honet, she had her lunchtime bottle, had a sleep in her babymoov tent and really enjoyed being out in the fresh air, she was really mesmerised by it all.

Our first picnic of the year was a success, and even though juggling three children is hard at the minute,i have promised we will do more special days like these,I love them all more than words can say and treasure these moments.

Thanks For Reading

Ahh so lovely! We love a good picnic and have had a few over the summer on the rare occasion the weather has been nice!

Aww these days are hard, but the most rewarding and you can't beat a picnic for a nice day out :)

Looks like you had a great time. I don't think we've had a picnic for years so we really should!

We've have so many picnics this summer I've lost count. My girls love them and my fussy eater eats so much better! Looks like you had a lovely time x

That tent is a really good idea! Can't beat a good picnic - I think little snack foods and random bits are always the best!

Not fair that most of summer was such awful weather. We only had one picnic too.

Sounds lovely we've not had a picnic this year, outdoors but managed to do an at home one. Typically the weather turned rubbish when we planned to go out.

Aww lovely. Yes the weather has been rubbish this summer but I've heard we're going to get some warm weather again soon! x

Yargh! I forgot about Go Fish, used to love that one. Can get a bit competitive though :)

That tent looks absolutely fantastic. Never heard of them before till you mentioned them.

I'm so pleased you had a lovely picnic, shame it's so far into the year xxx

Oh what a great little baby tent, perfect for a picnic!

You really remind me that I need to spend more time with my kids...it's so easy to get distracted at home, with chores or calls or texts. We're heading out to a trampoline centre after school so I'm going to really enjoy it and make a point of leaving my phone in the car. Thanks for sharing xx

Picnics with the kids can be so much fun. I love that little baby sun shelter thing - that must be so handy!

Juggling three children must be so hard. What a lovely little picnic though. I love picnics. Nothing beats fresh air and an open space to run around in for the kids. x

I'm glad your picnic was a success. That baby tent is a fabulous idea, and I love your girls' names! Gorgeous names.

Days like these are the best. I'm so pleased you managed to finally have a picnic, nothing better that no 'just a minute' find myself saying that way too much x
