Gone Pickin'

        

I love summer, homemade jam and teaching my boys to work and berry picking seems to cover all three.Spencer is not very good hired help and eats more than he picks, obviously he doesn't understand my need for homemade strawberry pie for the 4th. Carson did a pretty good job but is not much fun to pick with because every 5 minutes he is either whinning or insisting that he's picked bigger and faster than you (why is everything a competition when you're 4?) In the end we picked enough for freezer jam and the strawberries for the pie will have to come from the store. Happy summer all!

We went strawberry picking with the kids at Underwood family farms recently, too. Joseph's favorite were the blackberries though and he was completely covered in them. Your strawberries look beautiful. Hope your jam turned out. I've never made jam before.

That looks like so much fun. We're definitely going to do that next year. I love making strawberry jam too. It's my favorite. What cute boys!!
