Now here's a mental image you don't get everyday. (Mental is all you'll get, too, because I forgot my camera yesterday and I wouldn't have posted it anyway.)

After playing in the sandbox at Grandma Thiessen's house yesterday, the kids had to get the extra sand hosed off of them before they could go inside. Like all children everywhere, no clothes means great fun. They immediately ran off to the garden and started picking strawberries. Where they got the inspiration, I don't know, but it looked so funny. Two totally naked toddlers sitting in the strawberry patch. Zaya knows to wait before he tries to eat the strawberries, but Mim can't figure it out. She just pulls them and eats them immediately. We picked a bowl full of them to wash, and the kids stuffed those things in their mouth faster than I do with mini-Snickers.

It almost makes me want to grow my own garden. Almost.

Hey, it would go so much faster if they didn't put all those stupid wrappers on each and every mini Snikers. Like we don't KNOW what they are? We bought the bag, didn't we?
I won't grow Strawberries because I would never get one. 7 kids, they go outside, I don't.... I'd never see one.

hahaha. That sounds so funny. Yeah, they wouldn't appreciate a posted picture I'm sure!

But you have to have some nekkid baby pics in the collection. It's a major source of future embarrassment for when they fall in love with that special someone, then BOOM!, you throw out the nekkid kid pics. Revenge is sweet.
