A Day for Distracting

Marc (jr)'s family down in Arknsas has been going through some tough times the last few weeks. Marc decided to fly down there for a long weekend to lend some moral support and in any other way he could. He thought it was meant to be since he was looking at airline prices for our vacation this summer. The website said "click here for the cheapest flights out of Grand Rapids". When he clicked on it, it said to AR. ;) He left Saturday morning and he will be coming home Tuesday afternoon. To try to distract the kids (really just Marc) I decided that we would have a picnic in the living room for lunch.

Marc was so excited for the picnic that he spread his blanket out about an hour before lunch. Both Marc and Samantha grabbed books, sat down on the blanket and started reading.Marc was such a sweet big brother that when Samantha handed him one of her books, he took it from her and read it to her.
I told Marc that we were going to be having blueberry pancakes and bacon for lunch. I told him he could pick out what else he had to go with it. Here was our complete menu:
blueberry pancakes
bacon
banana nut bread
apples
strawberries
cinnamon graham crackers
nacho cheese Doritos
and for dessert graham cracker cookies with fudge inside.
For the most part what he chose was pretty healthy. :)
We had a good time and made a mess.
After dinner we started watching Jumanji while we are popcorn I popped in our Whirlipop. Yum!
Hopefully the rest of the weekend goes as well as today did. :)
