Six-word Saturday


Picnics on the living room floor.

At my daughter's request, this week I hosted two picnics on our living room floor, complete with a blanket and a lunch with all the trimmings. We both had a great time, and my daughter has been talking about her "special lunches" for days. I'm glad I took the time to create this memory—for both of us.
 
Wishing you all a joyful Saturday. ☺

    Sounds like the thing I should be doing, no point in going out as it's snowing

      You seem to be getting a lot of snow. I hope it slows down soon.

      Happy weekend, Bill. ☺

    Even this old guy, childless by choice, feels compelled to say,"Awwwwwww..."

    My granddaughter loved the special "tea parties". She loved putting her cookies on the special plates.

      It only takes a little to make children happy. I need to remember that. ☺

    Awww, lovely! What a great memory it'll be, Dana!

    You're the one that brought me to 6WS, so thanks! It is a fun way to share a bit of your life with the others!

    We used to do that too! I did a similar thing as a child - not with my mom but with my brothers and I still remember that -

    I don't have children of my own but I do work with them. I agree that it's about the little things. They remember simple gestures like this. Your picnics sound fun. Enjoy your weekend.

    I used to do that with my mom and my grandparents. It always ended up being in front of the TV but with nobody paying attention to it. I guess thats what happens when every time you plan an outdoor picnic, it ends up raining that same day. We never had much luck planning around the weather but I think that made it more special. =)

      We had a great time. I'm sure we'll have at least a few more indoor picnics while we wait for spring—and then maybe we can go outdoors!

    That's so sweet. My son likes to do the same thing. He even has a little red tea set that he uses too. Can't wait until the summer when we can have picnics in the yard! :)

    Our kids loved 'breakfast picnics'....we'd grab some bagels and oj and the book we were currently reading and head to the park. I treasure those memories!
