My children are wise to remember past years when it's been unbearably hot, and remind me that I "always" come to the picnic and bring them a frozen drink from Sonic. So, since it's tradition and all, I took a waffle berry brownie blast to Quincy at her 2nd grade Blowing Springs picnic. She took Soren around and showed him off to all her friends. 
Lara Scheele captured the rest of these beautiful photos and shared them with me.
Quincy and Leah were born just hours apart and have been buddies since the day they were born. It's so fun watching them grow up!
Quincy buzzed around with Soren between activities and groups of friends at the picnic, only checking in as she busily fluttered by, leaving me to visit with her teacher and other moms. She wanted me there, but as more of a spectator than a participant in her fun. As you wish, Quincy bee.
I checked her out an hour early and we came home for a little one on one time while the littles napped. We ate lunch together, then I joined her upstairs to play barbies. She commented, "mom, this is fun...and it's kind of weird, too. I didn't know you can actually play barbies. You're a mom. You usually just do the hair for us or get them dressed or help us set up. I didn't know moms could actually play them too."
Well that stung a little! What do you mean you didn't know I can play?! Quincy is our QuincyBEE because she has an honesty stinger, and that one got me, for sure. I made a mental note to play more, then made up for it, and we played barbies together until the other kids were done with school. Quincy was delighted.

The way you love your children and how you know them is so beautiful. I love the description of QBee. That is so lovely. She is so beautiful and just exudes truth, grace, and life.
