One cool summer day I decided to beat the ordinary day cycle. I packed a picnic basket filled with a cheese sandwich for MC, a butter sandwich for IC and some fresh fruits and a big bottle of water and dragged it to the kindergarten to pick up MC and IC.When they saw the basket, their eyes bulged with excitement asking in duet 'what is inside the basket, mama!' Well, I simply told them a suprise is waiting for them.
The kids skipped and hopped, they couldnt contain their excitement although they were giving me confused glances as we were going the same way home. And then I stopped in front of a playground and they shrieked in glee!
While I prepared our food, the kids got to play first. And then our lunch. Our picnic.
It wasnt something extraordinary, just a small deviation from an ordinary day but I got a great reward. The kids told me it was a great day and 'could we do it again?'
And some passersby saw us having a picnic and told us 'oh how sweet!'
It was fun and yes, we did it again and would do it again and again :D

We've done this a few times wen I used to pick up Mary from morning Kindergarten. A lot less expensive than a trip to the mall and more fun.
saya naman! i'm sure the 2 girls had a great time - lalo na it's a surprise! tipid pa! hmmn... gawin ko rin yan with my 2 little girls - paglaki nila. (kaya lang tagal pa nun)
nakikidaan lang po - actually madalas na bumibisita, pero now lang nag-iwan ng bakas :D
oh how sweet :) yes, the simple things in life can really become very special if done with great love and attention. although it is the same playground where the kids might have been a lot of times , the basket and the sandwiches made by mom made it very special.
That's just perfect for the season, profit :D !
