Entertaining. It's one of my most favorite things to do. I love decorating for a party, having friends over or just having an impromptu party with my family. The other day, Sofi wanted to have a picnic. Unfortunately, it just wasn't a picnic kind of day... it was a thousand degrees outside and I was busy getting ready for a shoot, needed to do some laundry, needed to prep dinner before I left, needed to do lots of things. But oh, how we long to please our children! So I grabbed a blanket, a bag of chips, turkey sandwiches (disgusting, nitrate filled lunchmeat - gasp!), some baby food for Alex and our drinks. We plopped down on the blanket and had lunch on the living room floor. Sofi, who lives for parties, says to me, "Mommy, where are the decorations?" It makes me proud to know that even an (almost) 3 year old can recognize good or bad party planning. If she knew the word 'redneck', I'm pretty sure she would have applied it to that picnic. Alex, on the other hand, thought it was a great party. Just like a typical guy...he ate with gusto, belched loudly and picked some fuzz between his toes.
