A "Shrek" picnic

Eyeballs and Newts!

I've decided to take over the reigns of the blogging for Emily, for a few posts and so it is with great excitement that I tell you about our Shrek Picnic.

I took off work on Thursday and Friday this week to spend some quality time with my family. I have been looking forward to this time off for some time now. Emily asked me if I wanted to go to the park and have a picnic. This sounded like a great idea, so off we went to the store to get some groceries and then once we got home, Emily banished Dawson and I to the upstairs, so she could concoct some sort of secret in the kitchen :)

Once we got to the park, Emily asked us to close our eyes, which we both did and she put what felt like a headband on our heads. 

We opened our eyes on her command and looked at each other and we were all wearing what looked like alien ears! Emily then exclaimed to us that this was a Shrek Party and that we were celebrating our family togetherness and the theme was "True Love's Kiss"!

So with that we each had 

• Monster Eye Salad (Emily's yummy homemade egg salad) 
• Slugs on a log (Peanut butter on apple slices)

and for Deseret 

• Worms in the Mud (Gummie Worms in Pudding Snacks)

It was a great evening and I love that creativity that Emily has. She makes every day fun and exciting for our family and especially Dawson and someday, his future siblings.
