Day 5: Playground picnic!

Today Frank met me at work with the kids, with lunch packed up for a picnic at 'grandma Janet's playground' (aka Cayuga Heights playground)  Unfortunately he wasn't able to join us because he was headed to work himself, but there were laughs and giggles anyway!  Listening to Tuscan and Vincenzo cracking up as I spun them on the tire swing was an awesome sound of summer and seeing Sicilya do her best to keep up with her big brothers always makes me smile.  

We finished off the night with a very random 'field trip' to the grocery store.  My mom was brave enough to meet us there, to see what i mean when i say I'm going "couponing" and i have to admit, i was so grateful she was there.  it made the whole trip so much easier on me and so much more fun for the kids.  They each pushed their own cart, through the entire store, filled with groceries and they did a great job!  It was so awesome to see how proud they were of themselves, taking on such a grown up task and being so helpful!
