delightful

Friday night for the first time in months I actually had no kids sleeping over! What a wonderful feeling to have the home all to myself to do as I wish. However I was missing the little tykes. The next day I had planned to go on a bicycle ride on the trail. I thought it'd be fun to have my nephew (my brother's son) along. I then had a thought to make a little picnic lunch.
I managed to take this photo without falling off the bike!
(I love my little bag made by the ever generous Z.)


I had a hard time keeping up.


My planned little picnic and bike ride of 2 turned into 3 with another little fellow (an adopted nephew of sorts) coming along.
I put together this little lunch for us of bologna and cheese sandwhiches, and fresh veggies with dip.
I ate the celery as apparently they didn't like it at all.
The little boy in orange had me cracking up because he had a sandwhich in each hand and eating both at the same time.
They are just too cute!!

This was taken by the little guy in orange.
I didn't realize the little guy in red was hiding behind the bench!
(not to self: do not wear white with two little boys around!)

What's even more fun is that I got to bring them back to my brother and I went home alone for a second night in a row!
Wonderful!

I've been tagged by chickenfoot for a meme so here goes:

The rules of the game get posted at the beginning. Each player answers the questions about themselves. At the end of the post, the player then tags 5-6 people and posts their names, then goes to their blogs and leaves them a comment, letting them know they’ve been tagged and asking them to read your blog. Let the person who tagged you know when you’ve posted your answer.
