On Friday, I did something very untypical for me. A friend suggested going strawberry picking, and it was a kind of spur-of-the-moment thing. Well, I am not that much of a spur-of-the-moment kind of person, so I was surprised at myself for jumping at the opportunity.
I replied to my friend, and then I went into the school room and announced to my children that a surprise awaited them at midday if they could complete the majority of their lessons by around 11:30.
I never witnessed such incredible work efficiency as I did that morning! It was a true “LOL” kind of moment! Sweet Girl completed all her work, and Chips got everything done except Geography and a bit of Reading. Considering all he had done, that was good enough for me.
So after eating lunch, we piled into the car, and I drove to the strawberry farm without saying where we were going or who we would be meeting. It was a sort of “mystery car ride”. They were pretty excited when we pulled into the driveway of the strawberry farm, and especially so when they saw which friends were already there!
I am so glad my friend got me to drop lessons for a few hours. It truly was a beautiful afternoon to go strawberry picking. But unfortunately for me, I forgot to bring my camera there.
I hate when I do that!
But I do have photos of the evidence from later on that evening. These strawberries are tasty beauties!! Are they ever.

So good, mommy! And I picked ‘em myself.
Looks like there is more Cool Whip on his
plate than berries!
