Friday: fruits

Today we went blueberry picking with Aunt C.  The weather was perfect!!  Warm but not too warm, with scattered clouds.  Not too windy, although there were a few gusts to make you appreciate that most of the time the blueberries stayed in your hand as you picked them.  We ended up with one bucket full.  The boys picked some, ran some, and ate some...they really just wanted to go to the playground.  Since it wasn't too hot this time, we stayed at the playground for quite a while.



After coming home, I picked our first raspberry crop.  When I looked a day or two ago there were only one or two worth picking, so I left them as I was hoping for three.  This time there were a bunch!

Isaac also played with wet socks again.  Not quite as long this time, but it was still...odd.

We finally got a little rain today, although I think everyone was hoping for a bit more.  Hopefully tomorrow.  Isaac also got all weepy on us when we told him that he didn't have to eat his four dinosaur chicken nuggets, but that he then wouldn't get a treat.  (He had originally only asked for two or three, and so didn't feel as though he should have to eat the last ones to get his treat.)  Afterwards I tried to tell him that many kids need to eat everything on their plate and that they have to sit there until they eat it...so our rule wasn't as harsh as he was making it out to be.  I'm not sure it worked.
