Berry Pickers
Our very generous berry suppliers, the Froese's, allowed us to pick in their field again this year, so on Wednesday morning we headed out to fill our buckets. Here you can see Sabrina hard at work, Grandma explaining the difference between ripe and not ripe to Noah and Olivia (Noah didn't care - he ate whatever berries he could reach, whether they were ripe or not, and whether they had the stem still attached or not!) Then there is Aiden, whose mom Rosie picked with us, and Malcolm, hanging out (literally, in the Snugli) with Grandma, which slowed her picking considerably, but she didn't mind! The boys soon got bored with berries and began digging in the dirt - notice the picker (Sabrina) peeking through the bushes at them!
The girls stuck with the picking amazingly well - Olivia nearly filled an entire bucket by herself.
Time for a potty break - can't go anywhere where there's not a bathroom unless we bring our own! Sabrina has been SO easy to train. Once she started to use her potty, I put panties on her, and she hasn't had an accident yet. I thought it would be a challenge to train her with a new baby needing my attention .... was I ever wrong.
Anyways, thanks Kerry and Anita - the berries are great!

Wow, my mouth is watering. What a great bunch of helpers. The pottie is just to cool...not teaching her to squat behind the bush yet Cindi?

Olivia once had to do an emergency pee in the forest, and she thought it was so cool that for a long time after, she wanted to pee in the garden, in the yard, at the park...we'll try to avoid that with Sabrina!
