Another lovely weekend, despite the rain all week. Most of the day was eerily quiet with both girls out at a birthday party, but they soon made up for their absence- returning full of excitement and cake! This evening we took our little barbecue to the park, kicked a ball about, laughed, hunted for grasshoppers and feasted on the delicious home made burgers whilst the sun set.
We'd rather over-estimated our appetites and found we had some burgers left over- Steve cut them into smaller portions and handed them out to the hoards of teen boys at the basketball court, which went down a storm. It was a bit like one of those cheesy scenes in a Jamie Oliver programme!
Tomorrow morning I'm going to attempt a 10k run as I've probably very foolishly entered a half marathon and only have a few weeks to train. I am raising money for a local hospice and would be hugely grateful for any support, no matter how small- you can sponsor me by clicking on the badge below. Thanks x
I love the idea of handing out burgers! I hope your run goes well and you don't get overheated.

what a lovely family afternoon, BBQs are the best xx
ReplyDeleteThat did make me laugh - cheesy scenes - but I bet they scoffed them down....knowing what teenage boys are like - bottomless pits!

ps. sorry I've just seen the button. Good luck with the run.
We used to do that a lot when ours were little. If it looked like there'd be loads of leftovers we'd offer them around to the other kids. We always checked with their parents first as some people can be a bit funny. There's only so much leftovers you can re-use.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fab idea, both in the picnic & then sharing....
ReplyDeleteYour girls are beautiful.
Hope the run went well.
