Last week we decided to try and take the kids strawberry picking one evening after dinner, It is hard to find a time where Mason can go to since he is in school now. It was already pretty late and they close each day at 7pm but luckily the weather was beautiful and there was hardly anyone there....Mason and Carissa had so much fun picking all the berries and this was the first year I did not have to survey their choices...all we big and red.....a big step up from all the green ones Mason was picking just 2 short years ago....Ryder also loved sitting in the muddy fields snacking on the berries...later that night I wondered if he should have since most kids should not have strawberries until 1 years old because of possible allergies...I guess by the 3rd kid all goes out the door...thankfully he is still alive and seemed just fine! The kids also loved the homemade strawberry slushies, wagon rides and play area. We are looking forward to going back again with our friends this season!!
This morning the kids woke to lots of colorful eggs the easter bunny left on our front yard and they were thrilled to find he had left them some easter basket goodies in the dining room too!! Ryder had the best time grabbing candy out of Mason's basket and enjoying his very first Peeps!! Carissa loved her candy necklace and new jewelry while Mason was thrilled to get another He-Man DVD Volume 2 and a spiderman puzzle. We are so thankful for this day and for all the loved ones we could share it with. Later in the sfternoon our friends, the Froehlichs came over to have Easter dinner with us. The kids played outside, found a few more eggs from the bunny and decorated some yummy Easter Cookies. So glad they could join us for another holiday. Hope everyone one Had a very Happy Easter, so sad to see Spring Break end and school start back up tomorrow...its been so fun having all 3 kids home this week!!
