When I was doing a photo shoot for my sister-in-law Martha (last year)  her younger brother came into the room all excited because he had seen his first Robin and Martha explained to me that it is a tradition  that they have a picnic outside after they see the first robin every year.

I thought that was the coolest thing and it got me thinking about doing something with my kids.

So this year after we saw our first Robin we all cooked dinner together and  baked a cake.  Steve designed something on the computer for them to color.  It was a perfect night, one of those nights where I was patient (other mother's understand what I mean by this..it all just felt so right instead of chaotic)  and everyone was in fantastic moods, talkative and laughing.  And I wanted to bottle it up!  The cake was a recipe from the book in the last post it came out so good! 

For all the Mammas out there I loaded the coloring page full size in the photoblog feel free to print it for your own kiddos.

Steve and I are going on a date...I cannot wait to spend time with my man!!!
