lunch yesterday

Yesterday friends came over to join us on the neighborhood playground.  I think the basic rule of thumb here is this: if you're gonna be dripping with sweat watching your kids play hard outside, might as well sweat with friends :)

It's been quite hot and (I'll blame the humidity for this one) we all have rivers of sweat running down our backs pretty much anytime we step outside :)  And to think our suitcases were full of layers and layers of cozy winter clothing!  I'm so grateful for seasons!

Lunchtime rolled around and we rolled down the sidewalk, a troop of kiddos (12) on scooters and three moms trying to herd the crowd.

We stopped for bowls of noodles - with a side serving of fried rice -  and filled up the many empty tummies.

then it was back home again!  Grateful for cooks who sweat over huge pots of boiling noodles so I don't have to make lunch!  {double bonus that they wiped the tables and washed the dishes too.... my kind of lunch!}
