12 of 12 June

1. Off on an adventure to the strawberry patch and only one kid was feeling cooperative
2. My "helpers." They were good in the stroller but that's about all I could ask of them.
3. Four pounds of little strawberries. The picking was slow.
4. "We're in the forest!" It still surprises me how Millie finds the dense vegetation extrodinary, since this is her life.
5. Visiting teaching. I don't love dragging two kids along to appointments and having to police them while we're there. But I do love that early that week Millie pointed to an apartment building and asked, "Mom, is that where we go visiting teaching?" We go visiting teaching. It's what we do.
6. Slice of summer.
7. This kid is getting so funny. He was sticking his finger in his nose and giggling, and then sticking his tongue out and laughing.
8. Race you...
9. ...to MaryLou's Donuts. We saw it on our way to the strawberry patch and Millie couldn't leave it alone all day. Why not?
10. Planting some annuals for color in the front flower beds. I think I'm trying to make up for completely and entirely missing my peonies and irises blooming.
11. Dessert with the girl who was still in her pajamas after dinner. As she so kindly pointed out to the cashier at the nursery.
12. Got an email from the library that The Fault in Our Stars was ready for my to download. And there went the rest of the night... and into the next morning. (It's set in Indianapolis and I loved knowing where some of the things are.)
