who smooshed the strawberries?





By all accounts it started out as a happy strawberry patch kinda day
- compliments of the local Early Intervention crew.
Smiles filled the rosy fields.
Nobody could guess the terribly *messy* turn of events looming moments away...





Big brothers happily helped little sisters.

Little sisters busily pick pick picked the succulent berries.

Families bonded & sampled the yummy summery fruit...





But wait





I wonder what the babies are up to?






pondered a big brother...









No worries...

the babies were just frolicking in the hay!



Or were they?









Hmmmmmm...
it appears it wasn't just the babies smooshing the strawberries
that happy strawberry pickin' day...






The big brothers & little sisters had guilty fingers too!





Legend has it...

that every year during that strawberry patch kinda time...

little lips & digits will be stained a smooshy stawberry red.

And now everybody knows who smooshed the strawberries!

The End

Sophie's Story by Elaine said…
What a sweet story! You should think about writing children's books...seriously!!! It put a smile on my face and at 5:30am that is not easy to do...I am so not a morning person.

Bibi & Babu - Hmmmm...I'm not sure either would last the long trip there! Although pretty soon Toby'll be old enough to give it a go! He's actually off to his first summer camp...baseball camp!

Elaine - I am SO not a morning person either! Actually I'm more like late day to mid afternoon...everything else is cranky! :o) MY hubby said the same thing btw...I should try to publish it. The pics are what makes it cute tho! And it was really nice that EI sponsored the event!

I hope all is well for Sophie (and the other girls too:o) And you! I think about you often...and whisper prayers...

(((hugs)))

No, I don’t know him personally

  I’ve had several emails today asking if I know Mike W. of Marissa’s Bunny personally.    Trevy’s blog was linked on her site.  Although it’s not now.     I’ve posted here and there at his request.  Because…well…we’re a community.  Us IS families.  And Marissa is wicked cute.  Her daddy has a way with words.  Also who wouldn’t want the world to know about an iPad give-away?    But aside from that…I know about as much as you do.    We’ve never met in person.    Our only communication has been cyber.    I’m a ginormous sap and as such would love to believe that all is right.  That the sweet, beautiful families who were promised iPads will be getting them tonight.  Tomorrow at the latest.  That no one has been lied to.  That the personal thank you for your generosity email I sent him on behalf of other IS families I’ve grown to love and was thrilled to learn w...

I sure hope...

they grow back curly! Saw the "unknown" flashing on the face of my cell phone and knew who it was. Who it had to be. Dr. Fellow. My eyes met Grams' and I nodded. Grams has a pool, see. For super hot days like today. We're also having a septic installed. Which meant no water or facilities at my place. But those weren't really the reasons I was there. Close to mom. The purple ringing thing in my hand was. Only I wasn't prepared for it to be ringing SO darn soon. Shortly after lunch instead of dinner! I swallowed. Took a deep breath. And clicked connect. Dr. Fellow has a very nice phone tone. Clear. Hint of compassion. If only a stitch of humor were added...it'd be heavenly. But there was no humor. Just business. He's very direct. I'm learning that about him. Which explains his short hello. Followed by immediately pushing into the news. Being that it was a unanimous consensus. The entire surgical committee feels Trevor is a good candidate. And then p...

it ain't sexy livin' on an island...

Especially when you have to cross bridges to get ANYWHERE. Very LARGE bridges. The crests of which I inevitably get stuck at. Speaking of...why is it that at the tippity tops of our bridges...the railings always open up? To reveal an eagle's eye view of the white capped depths below? I HATE that. And sure enough...in route to Dr. Pedi yesterday...they must have seen me coming cause traffic ground to a halt at the top of the Mt. Hope Bridge. Where I felt less than Hope-ish. My palms gushing my nerves onto the steering wheel for a good 15 (felt like forever) minutes. Not just things medical bring out my cowardly lion. Heights do too! Anyway... Grabbed an iced coffee and chocolate cream filled to settle my nerves on the way. And we arrived on time...in one piece. Of course. Dr. Sick-Visit-Pedi breezed in chart in hand. Glanced down. Then at Trevy. Then said... "He has a history of Infantile Spasms?" Surprise and speculation in her voice. We get that a lot. It...
