Some of you may know that we planted Raspberries a couple of years ago. We've had a handful or two here and there but this is THE year for us! Not only have the plants spread almost like weeds (see below), we actually picked a bowl full today! Yippee!
This is AFTER the kids ate a bunch! And there will be plenty to pick tomorrow from the looks of the almost-ripe ones!
Today was kind of a play day around here. Nathan & I had a special date since he won't be with us for Mother's Day.
We went to Baskin Robbins for clown cones (his choice):
Then we all went for a bike ride to the school nearby to play and fly Nathan's new kite.
Brian spent some time cleaning up various distasteful graffiti. What a guy!
Nathan had fun doing many different things...
Emma explored the playground, practiced going up and down the steps to the jungle gym, went down the slide twice with Mama, and decide the most exciting thing was walking up and down the "big hill":
Well, we finally had a little snow last night! It was enough to fully cover the ground but the grass started poking through again as the day went on. :(
Emma wasn't sure what to think when she looked out the window this morning. She just kept pointing. This afternoon we went for a little drive to see the two most decorated houses in town. We'll go back again some evening when Nathan is with us to see everything lit up but I thought she would enjoy seeing it all in the daylight too.
Here she is taking her first few steps in the snow:
