Strawberry Pickin'

Today we finally made it to the strawberry patch to pick our own strawberries! It was dirty and hot but fun. I was worried that Lucy might try to pick the green ones but she did a great job looking for the big red ones. I was also worried that she might try to put more in her mouth than in the bucket but she proved me wrong there as well. She only ate half of one before it fell in the dirt!

Max and Abby had a great time and we filled up two big buckets full. John and I have to keep an eye on Max and Abby now though because they'll stand there and eat 10+ pounds of strawberries at once! Lucy has also joined the strawberry loving club and makes such a red sweet juicy mess of herself as she enjoys them :)

Max had his final soccer game of the season this morning and did a great job! He got his trophy and although he was sad that soccer was done, he knows he'll be seeing a lot of his teammates on his t-ball team in about a month! At least we have a few Saturdays without ball games :)

In case I don't get to the computer tomorrow, I hope all you moms and grandmoms out there have a wonderful Mother's Day :)

Thanks for the nice Mother's Day wish! I have already had a great one!
Strawberries already? You lucky lady! We won't see those for another several weeks.
Now? You gotta do some artwork with the kiddos so you can join our carnival!
