[...] Update from yesterday…(This is totally separate from Hump Day), I survived, barely. Five pounds of blueberries, two screaming and baked children, half a juice box, and stained knees were my souvenirs. Oh, I can’t forget the shit-tay pictures I took. *insert heavy eye rolling and irritated head shaking* *and sneering* /end over use of * [...]

I haven’t yet ventured out with the hubby (a brit who has never ever been berry picking) or the Little Imp to gather berries here in Maine, AKA the blueberry state (yeah there’s that little thing about it being famous for Lobsters too, but so what!)….oh who am I kidding? I haven’t got the first clue how to pick berries. That and someone told me there would be snakes…or maybe that was a warning for picking blackberries. I don’t know.

Either way, we’re well overdue to go pick berries, get dirty and then come home and ask ourselves what the hell we’re going to do with all the berries because none of us even like them!

I took my son bb picking last weekend and it went very well. 3 1/2 is a good age for it, especially when said 3.5 loves blueberries more than any other food. He must have eaten a pound or more while we picked. Once we got home though, our 3 lbs didn't sort out into as much freezer stash as I expected. We have to go back in the next month and be more serious about picking. Rayne of Terrors last blog post..wildflowers

ziploc baggies and a parking lot strip-down before entering the family truckster afterwards. You'll be alright. I made cookies at Christmas and decided to let the kids decorate them. What I wasn't thinking about was all of the raw egg in the "paint" (we had to paint the cookies prior to baking) for the cookies and how a 1-year-old and 3-year-old would know not to put it straight into their mouths. It was the most stressful project I've ever done. No one had fun and there was a big mess and MUCH raw egg eaten. But...everyone survived. You can do it, Sista! Mama DBs last blog post..Starbucks?

You must have been thinking about how you'll have three days of freedom and you wanted to get one last good deed in. Must've been. VDogs last blog post..Project Support Beauty In Nature

Blueberry picking is priceless. Blueberry eating is delicious. Blueberry cooking/canning/freezing is fun and educational. It's the blueberry poop that shows up in the diaper that really sucks! Jennis last blog post..Foul, Fecal, Freaking Flies!

For the very same reasons this is why I don't ever leave the house with the twins, ever . . . unless accompanied by a bevy of suckers - I mean helpers and friends. BlueBellas last blog post..Because I’m Not Getting Any: Part II

Aha! You live! I thought for sure I'd find an obit circulating about you. Glad you survived the horrible ordeal. Good luck getting the stains out of your soul. MadWomanMegs last blog post..Like the Little Engine That Could....but with a better Caboose

During all our adventures last week I kept looking at all the moms out and about by themselves – with their kids – doing it solo. There were moms with like FOUR kids – out and about – and doing it. Made me feel a little silly for waiting until Mike was off of work to do some of the things we did – but I’m glad I did! I’m a big chicken and the thought of going blueberry picking with the 2 of ‘em by myself!? Scary! Glad you survived.

Oh good heavens. WHY do we do these things to ourselves? Glutton for punishment? Yes. I do believe so. Jesss last blog post..Living two lives at the same time
