Waldorf Picnic

The children and our neighbor's children love to play together and will frequently run back and forth between our two houses. Today they set up a right proper little picnic complete with table cloth (makeshift from a kitchen towel) and a china set from a little basket picnic set. They got little cherries for everyone, an opened bag of chips, filled the tea pot with water for each little cup and used the tiny little silverware for a front yard picnic. They all sat together so nicely and used their manners, saying "please" and "thank-you". As much as I would like to take credit for the exuberant cuteness they did it all on their own. Afterwards they each helped clean up. Ethan even ran back to the house to get a Clorox wipe to clean the little picnic table as he's seen me do with the kitchen table. I'm not sure they actually cleaned the dishes off themselves, but they put everything away and then set up for some front yard T-ball.
