Berries

The kids and I went strawberry picking this week.  The berries weren't great due to recent rain but we had fun anyway.  We'll have to go again because last year's crop was so good.  Because I carried Simon in the front pack and had to squat to pick, my thighs were killing me for days afterwards. 

Piper wore the new boots she got from Grandma Vicki for her birthday.  She's had many compliments on them. 

Simon kept trying to eat the strawberry leaves.  At one point I think he got a strawberry because he had pinkish hands and some strawberry on his chin.

I've made strawberry/rhubarb crumb cake and several milkshakes with our spoils.  
You'll have to excuse the excess of pictures but the kids were looking especially adorable that day.  Indulge a mother.

Yum yum!! That is something we have yet to do. Great updates, oh and I could not get over Simon today at church crawling everywhere!
