Today we had Henry's friends, Abby and Ian and their moms up from the old neighborhood. We went strawberry picking. Note that Grace wore her strawberry dress. Because your outfit should always coordinate with your event. She spent the whole time picking up teeny tiny strawberries and exclaiming, "oh, this is cute!" Olivia was all business. If the business was eating all you could stuff in your mouth. Something tells me we're going to be cleaning shit off the walls again...

Next year, Jack will be old enough for his first job at this farm, so he picked speedily to see if he could hack it. His flat was full by the time the other four of us had picked about a handful. He's very excited about working hard to earn a little money. I find this really odd, because I didn't know he knew how to work hard. If there were jobs for kids who debate their way out of chores, he'd make a mint.
