Strawberries are YUMMY!

Today we picked strawberries! Hudson didn't not want to go until we said we were going to the fruit FARM. Anything with the word "farm" and Hudson is excited! Although he though he was going to see cows, he was happy to see the pond of ducks and was happy to help (and my help I mean EAT). Brian and I always say that we should just expect the opposite behavior just so that we're not surprised and today was no exception. I thought that Hudson would be the patient picker and that Bryce would be all over the place. Of course, just the opposite happened! Bryce was such a great little picker. He even carried the basket around and listened so well. Hudson was definitely more interested in sampling the strawberries than picking them. Everytime I would take my eyes of him he would eat another berry...stem and all. Juice was dripping down his face and he excitedly kept saying "these are YUMMY"! Because I wasn't sure if they spray pesticides, I was freaking a little at him eating the unwashed fruit. To get him to stop eating them we promised strawberry shortcakes when he got home! I think that worked! Once we were done gathering our basket full of berries, we stopped at White House for donuts (and shortcakes!). The boys enjoyed their promised donuts on the ride home, before they fell asleep. B chose the apple cider donut w/ cinnamon icing...I think he liked the red! Hudson chose a blueberry donut because it was purple. He ate the top layer with all of the frosting and was finished with it...so Brian and I just HAD to finish it for him, lol! We all enjoyed a nice, afternoon nap! Strawberry shortcakes were enjoyed this evening. The highlight, of course, being when Mommy sprayed the whipped cream into everyone's mouth, well almost everyone...Hudson laughed hysterically but would not participate!
