Today Mom did something really special with the kids, something that I like to think I will do with them- but have not actually done it yet. Good old fashioned strawberry picking. Rookies at this task, Mom needed to encourage them to eat the berries instead of just putting them in the basket. When they finally did decide to eat the berries, they were the ones from their baskets instead of direct from the vine. I try not to think of the pesticides that they have just ingested by popping the berries directly in their mouth.
Props to Mom for taking them in the incredible heat of the day & to deal with the 5 busloads of kids who were also there. Thankfully the kids slept in for Mom that morning, so they were well rested for their big outing. I think Mom is in bed on Wednesday nights at the same time the kids are.
