Playing Catch-up {& a Little Strawberry Pickin’}

Well, as Spring Break comes to the end for my little man, I’m now finally catching up on some activities we did last week.

It’s so funny to me to hear the name Spring “Break” because if you’re like us there’s no break at all…it’s go, go, go all week long. I think I’m still trying to catch up on rest from our busy but oh so fun week last week.

Unfortunately, Dallas was in school but she tracks out next week so we’ll get plenty of fun time together.

I have a very good friend who started a new job last week and didn’t realize that her first week was also the week of Spring Break…Whoops! Hehehe, just kidding, Lex!

I was thrilled to help her out and have her two adorable kiddos come to play with us two mornings. It was so fun. And let me just tell you those kids are so well-mannered. Everything was “yes ma’am”, “please”, “thank you”, “excuse me, Ms. Shana”…I mean without even prompting! They were wonderful.

I didn’t get any pictures from Tuesday because the boys were playing baseball for two hours and I was running after their fly balls, all the while helping Sydney in and out of different princess dresses.

It was a blast to say the least.

Thursday we decided to go strawberry picking with some friends, and I did remember to bring my camera along for this trip.

We set out on what I will say not the ideal strawberry picking weather. It was pretty chilly, breezy, and a bit drizzly, but we were determined to get some strawberries before Easter.

I’ll be completely honest with you…I would much rather pick strawberries in the weather we had than in 90 degrees with 100% humidity {which I have done before}.

Here we are making the walk to the strawberry fields.

But first, we had to stop for a quick picture!

This strawberry picking is some serious business.

So proud of his strawberry!

I love these two pictures…It was like Carson and Dylan were plotting as to how and where they would find the perfect strawberries. There is definitely a strategy to this.

And then there’s Sydney. It took three times to get a cute picture for her Mama..but I got one and she’s just too cute!

After we filled all our buckets we headed into the “store” part of the farm for some play time, snacks, and of course homemade ice cream!

Is Mollie not the cutest thing EVER?! She dove into that ice cream and came up all smiles and chocolate everywhere.

The ice cream was good…no doubt!

There was also a very serious game of checkers that was played.

And last, some fun on the swing!

It was such an awesomely {is that even a word?} fun day!
