Well, it's a cool rainy day here, so the only picnic pictures I have for you are of wee one helping me plan the arrangement of the ugly picnic squares.

I was actually worried that my ugly picnic blanket was too pretty, so I searched through the dregs of my fabric stash and found even uglier uglies to add. Here's the final arrangement with the ugliest of uglies all added in. Oh, that's gonna be one ugly picnic!

click for the big ugly!

Instead of having a pretty picnic today, we went to our town's annual flag day parade.

There were folks dressed in colonial costumes. Later they fired off old-timey muskets which scared S and made him cry. But a nice man came by and threw a handful of lollipops towards us to make it all better.

I kept the wrapper on for wee one.

B got a blue one - can you tell?

We got to see our neighbor driving his antique fire truck. And then the big highlight of the afternoon, the boys' favorite, a street cleaner!

Woo hoo.
