Raspberries & Ruby

I'm a bad mom. I don't buy my kids raspberries! I know, you're gasping in shock right now ... well, get over it! lol I don't buy them because I don't like them. Most fruit I buy, I make sure I like because the kids start eating it & then forget about it & guess who (go ahead & try) gets to eat the rest. They had raspberries at Jenny's house earlier this week & thought they were just fabulous. Jenny invited the kids to come pick fresh raspberries off her bush (or is it a plant?) Thursday & they were THRILLED to do so. I brought small bowls for them because I didn't know how many there were ... the bowls were NOT big enough for the amount the kids wanted to pick. They very much enjoyed the picking process & we're so thankful to Jenny for letting us. And, just so you know, I did try one & raspberries just aren't for me.

(Thanks Jenny!!!)

Andrea & her family went camping this week and asked if Callie would water their plants/veggies and also fishsit Jenna's fish, Ruby. She was MORE than happy to do so. She loved having Ruby sitting on our counter to greet her each morning & to watch her eat all her meals. Who knew that fishsitting would be so satisfying? lol Andrea came to pick up Ruby today & we're all missing her a little. It was fun to watch her swim in circles ... oh the exciting life we do lead!! haha
