Strawberry Picking

It's that time of year again, time for strawberries! This year Gavin was able to help us pick them. As you can see, they both started off well with a bucket in hand.
Then they discovered all of the ladybugs (there is one on Mac's elbow). They were over the picking of strawberries and wanted me to pick them ladybugs instead. My boys LOVE to let little bugs crawl all over their hands and arms. It make this mommy's skin crawl.




They also figured out that they could eat the strawberries as well. I had to pick fast to keep up with them.


Gavin has always been my messy eater. This picture doesn't do the mess justice. Literally, he had strawberry juice from his hair all the way down to his shoes. He even had it on the back of his shirt and pants. Needless to say, they went straight to the bathtub when we returned home.
