Maddie is 12 today!!!

Hope you had a great day, Mads!!

Kids for Hire.

We went strawberry picking on Sunday and, of course, the girls had a lot of fun - just like they did when they picked apples a couple of times last fall.  I am afraid they would have picked berries all day if we'd let them.  I wonder if the berry farm would hire them.  This particular farm will have peaches to pick in June.  Can't wait to taste fresh-from-the-tree peaches!!

The girls had some ice cream before we left the farm.  At one of the look-outs we stopped to view, they kicked around Maddie's This is Not a Book.

After dinner - the reward for all of that hard work.  Jordan and Maddie made the whipped cream themselves.

What a snow storm!

We had quite the snow storm today. I think it finally tapered off around 7:00 p.m., but I'm sure we have more than a foot of snow on the ground. The snow was coming down so hard this afternoon that it was difficult to take good photos, as you can see here and here. The girls loved it even though it was too cold to stay out for any length of time.
