Blueberry Picking




Last week, we indulged ourselves in one of TC's finest crops...blueberries! We traveled with our buddies to Buchan's Blueberry Hill to pick the most luscious, delicious, plump blueberries I've ever tasted. Okay, okay, maybe I've been a bit sheltered as this was the first time I've ever picked blueberries, but I was in Heaven! Kailey enjoyed picking the berries for about five minutes until she realized eating them was much better.


The best part was since I was flying solo (Paulie had to miss it due to work), my friend Krista and I got to straddle and creep under the bushes, while her husband Jerod wrangled five, yes five children! In the end, Krista picked nine pounds and I picked six pounds. (She's a more experienced picker...I guess). I now have a freezer full of blueberries to enjoy for many months to come. Pure Bliss!

Owen- Loo-Who


One of my favorite things to purchase for the kids are jammies. I've always had a thing for jammies and now I am passing it on to them. Kailey is in a nighty-princess phase and won't change out of her 'princess' all day long. We have to use bribes and the like so we can go in public without her good friends "Sleeping-rella" and "Cinder-beauty." (I could correct her, but why?)


In Owen's case, I didn't realize this little romper would create a Seuss character in my very home! It's the blue eyes and the big smile that add to the charm.

Swinging and Playing











These were from a favorite playground close to the hotel where we spent a lot of time swinging and playing on the train. Owen is a big fan of the swings and Kailey just loves to run around. Of course they wouldn't like the same things, that would be too easy!
