We went blueberry picking a few weeks ago. If you can believe it, we have never been. It was really nice! The place we went to was local, in Carver. There were SO many blueberry bushes/trees. Nice fat blueberries with deep color. We ended up with so many blueberries. I think it was about $1.70 per pound! I compared it with the store and it would have cost me much more. Brianna and I froze almost all of them. We have since made very delicious blueberry muffins. Fresh blueberries are so yummy! :-))
Mia has just had her first birthday! Ugh, time flies, doesn't it? We had a little birthday with the neighbors, my mother and Brianna. She had her first cupcake, sort of. She planted her hand on it, saw the frosting stick to her hand, and proceeded to try and wipe it off with her other hand. Didn't work. So she was a bit distressed about the mysterious glob, and let out a cry. I saved the day with a wet paper towel. :-) She received some very nice gifts from my mother. Some nesting blocks, stackable disks and a pull along toy. She loves them. It's so neat to see her try to figure them all out. She loved it when we made a tall tower out of the nesting blocks.
Brianna has been having fun learning how to read and playing the day away. She has re-found her marble/block mazes. It is amazing what you forget that you had in an untidy room. We have also introduced her to the world of paper dolls...anyone remember these? She absolutely loves them! They have updated the concept by giving a numerous amount of sticky circles instead of having to bend down tabs to keep the clothes on. She starts a sign language class this week as well. She is very excited to learn a language that no one else in our family knows. Sneaky. ;-)
Joshua has been riding his BMX bike all over creation this summer. Good exercise. He goes up to New Hampshire to work at a camp for the month of August. It is a good, fun time for him AND he gets to make a little money as well. Good deal. He will be starting 7th grade this September. Time DOES fly.
Brian is continuously beginning new projects in the yard. He finished my other 3 planter boxes, planted some more flowers and plants AND started to make a water feature in the yard! It will look nice when finished. I'll post more pictures as it comes along. He has found a new hobby of golfing as well. Not for me, I find golf to be......boring. Sorry for all you avid golfers out there.
Not much to report on myself. I did take a basket-making class at Soule Homestead last weekend and had a good time. I must say, that I think my basket looks quite cute. I am really interested in making more. Brianna would like to learn as well. I'm sure I won't update again until the summer is close to being over. Hold onto the summer as long as you can! :-))
