It's HOT!

Just when I thought Spring was here, we woke up to summer! It has been warm here this weekend. Too warm for Spring. The weather channel promises cooler temps for next week, hopefully they are right. We went strawberry picking at a local farm this weekend. The kids really enjoyed it. I didn't know how they would do but they liked it. Andrew enjoyed searching through the plants looking for the red ones. Audrey wasn't too sure about picking them and they were a little hard for her to snap off, so she enjoyed carrying them to the bucket. Audrey even ate a couple strawberries in the car on the way home. I was surprised because she usually won't eat them. However, after they were washed and cut up at home, she refused to eat them. Andrew waited till we got home to eat any ("Mom, they have dirt on them, I'm not eating them till you wash them), although after he ate a few, he said that he didn't really like them. He likes the ones from Walmart better. Go figure?!?!?! Fresh picked sweet strawberries and he says they don't taste like strawberries.

Audrey was Chip's runner. He picked the strawberries and she carried them back to the box.

Going back for more.

So excited to find big ones!

Hmmm...I think I'll try one!

Just getting started.

This is Audrey in time-out. I sat her next to me one night while I was working on the computer for a time-out. She was upset and every time I looked down at her she covered her face. She's never done that before and it was hard not to laugh. Luckily I had the camera right on the desk and snapped her picture before she noticed.

Enjoying some Popsicles in the heat!

Our new neighbors! We noticed a bird's nest in one of the eaves of the porch next to ours. Chip risked being attacked by the mother bird and climbed up in a chair to get a picture for Andrew. We were expecting eggs, boy were we surprised!
