Fruits n Such

We enjoyed the morning at the Fruits n Such orchard. We were able to pick blackberries as well as white and yellow peaches. Julia was quite the little helper picking...she would even tell me when the berries weren't dark enough. Jocelyn, well, she really liked to eat the peaches. The grand total was seven. Yes, seven. They just melt in your mouth! We also chased the guinea birds and watched the little chicks.
It was a very hot and very wonderful day. ;)

garden flags

The girls had their artwork made into garden flags at school. Julia's is an elephant and Jocelyn's a giraffe which were made out of their hand prints. They're pretty proud...so am I.

okra

We planted okra from seed this year and have enjoyed watching it grow. We decided to harvest some this morning.

Jello

The girls have been obsessed with babies for a few years now. When asked what their babies name was they would always reply 'baby.' Well, baby finally has a name. It's Jello. Yup, today they had twins...sisters...both named Jello. Love them.

Happy Mother's Day to me

We enjoyed the day at Discovery Green. Playground, water splashing, smoothies, watching sailboats, and running through the grass. It was a pretty great day.
I was awakened by two smiling girls with their breakfast in a bag, princess gift bags, musical cards and a new blender. Of course, Jocelyn immediately opened it and wanted to make smoothies. Tim said they were pretty enthusiastic. But, hearing my little ladies tell me "Happy Mother's Day" for the first time was the greatest gift of all. I am SO BLESSED. Being a mom is the best thing in the whole wide world.
I love my daughters SO MUCH.
