Superfruit

 We've been waiting... The kids and I woke up bright and early and picked lots of blueberries. I use child labor... These two pick lots of berries and I only need to pay them in the form of a popsicle. Since the kids know their berries and I don't even have to pick unripe ones out of their buckets anymore, I started a new rule... you want to eat them, you help pick them. Luckily the kids love picking berries...now. This may change in the future so need to get this rule in effect while they are young. 
 Greta was super helper today trying to carry our buckets, keeping Fieldin in check... thank you :) Fieldin mostly ate his weight in blueberries and told people not to pick green berries to pick the big, fat, dark blue berries without spiders on them. 
 Some blueberries were frozen, some were eaten, some were made into jam and some were saved for a pie that Greta wanted to make. Here is her first pie. I had to do the stove work making the filling and messing with the oven but she did the rest. She also wrote a list for Jeff to take to the grocery store to finish her dessert. It said: "Wippen cream and vanilla ice cream." Fieldin says he wants blueberry pie for his dinner. Looks and smells good Miss Greta!
