Welcome Picnic

On Saturday the kids school had their Welcome Picnic. It is a nice time for everyone to get together and catch up with all the things that have happened since last year. Every family brings something to put on the buffet so there was quite a selection of things to eat from all over the world. Since Jason's brother was here this weekend he joined us for the picnic. The girls loved showing their Uncle their school. They also loved playing the games that were set up for the kids. I volunteered to work at the buffet table for 30 minutes since I'm getting more involved in the PTA this year. I wasn't sure what I was going to have to do since it seemed to be running itself but the 1/2 hour I chose ended up being the time we were switching over from main course to dessert so I was very busy moving the main course dishes to one end of the table, removing empty dishes and putting out new dishes with desserts. I had no idea I would be so busy but it made the time go by quickly. After visiting with a few friends and watching the girls play for a little bit we decided it was time to head home. Ali was exhausted and fell asleep in my arms on the walk home. I think we were all ready for a rest and enjoyed a quiet afternoon.
