My two filthy dirty big helpers.
The fruits of our labors- 13 1/2 lbs of strawberries.
Ahhh, summer. What is more summery than picking fruit with my kidlets in tow? I've been wanting to go berry picking but was reticent because of wrangling all three of my little ones AND picking.
Oh well, nothing ventured nothing gained. This morning I woke at about 6:00 -early for me these days- and fed Abigayle.
Waking Lucas, I made my way to the kitchen to fix green smoothies for our quick breakfast. Next, was Abrianna. Everybody was cheery and happy to be going picking berries regardless of the early hour.
I think we made it to the field about 7:30. Lucas and Abrianna both pitched in for the first half an hour or so helping to fill the container more than just eating the luscious berries.
Abigayle decided that a good feeding was in order about that time too. It's quite an interesting experience to nurse a baby while picking strawberries. I made it work though. Afterwards, she fell asleep and slept in the stroller the remainder of the time.
My older kidlets had a blast playing the the powdery dirt with Lucas piling it on Abrianna's head.
Needless to say, after an early lunch, they both had baths. Naps. Ahh naps! I even was able to sleep.
I've been working on cleaning up. Our house is being shown tonight. So, we've spent a bit of time outside playing in the sprinkler.
I guess I'm out of inspiration. Sorry.
