Picnic Day!
So the stormy season is upon us out here in Vegas. Or at least a stormy week. But it's so nice! Yeah, the humidity is a bit much now that my body has gotten acclimated to the dryness. However, the temperatures are cooler, the breeze is up and the sun is covered up by clouds. Plus I love love love the rain. The smell & the sound is so soothing.
On Sunday, T came home from his midnight shift headed into his weekend and then leave for a wedding this coming weekend. He decided he wanted to try and stay up a bit - have breakfast together, play a bit, then take a nap to get through the evening but keeping so that he'd still be tired to go to bed like a "normal" person. We wanted to take advantage of the fact that it was breezy and 85 so we decided to have a picnic lunch.
I went to the grocery store to grab some quick sushi. If you recall, H has been introduced and is a fan
But holy crackers, B can put away a roll like nobody's business! He begs for our table scraps like a stray dog - even though he refuses to eat off his plate when it's the EXACT SAME THING. I digress. We found out that he loves sushi, too. H is still pretty tentative about everything but the rice & tempura. But B will shove a roll in his mouth and grab his next one.
He ate 7 roll slices. SEVEN! The kids pack had 15 pieces in it. We had 3 leftover at the end. I love it! It's just ask quick and easy as other fast foods, but healthier. It makes me feel good about being too lazy to prepare lunch. Rices & veggies & fish that my kids think is a special treat? Sold! I'm hoping to go out to a Japanese restaurant with my parents when we're home for the wedding. Maybe Papa seeing the 1 year old down sushi will give him the courage to actually try it ;).
Since our last picnic was Father's day and the pictures were all about Daddy, I thought I'd get in some this time.
After eating our lunch we decided a rest in the shady breeze was the obvious choice.

B & mommy selfie! There's too much technology these days. Don't worry, I judge me too.
