Brown's Berry Patch

Penelepe will ask "Where's Oliver?" when he is at school. She misses him a little but we do have fun with out him too. Don't tell Oliver. The other week we went to Brown's Berry Patch with a few other friends from our play group. It was so delicious! The raspberries were amazing! If it wasn't a little over an hours drive I would be there everyday! I think we ate about as much as we put in the basket. Quality control - and the raspberries passed the inspection. We also picked several large bags of apples. Over 8 dozen Macintosh apples. Oliver could eat 6 a day if I let him. Needless to say we will not be wasting any of the apples (which I was a little afraid of after I saw how many we picked). Anyways it was a great outing. Penelepe had a lot of fun. They also have a large play area for kids and a ton of scarecrows. I don't think the scarecrows are suppose to be scary, but they were creepy to me.
So speaking of Penelepe - I love her - I do - but sometimes she can be quite the two year old. The other day we were at the park and it was time to go home. She did not think it was time to go and threw a major fit and screamed the entire two blocks home! Needless to say she had a major time out in her room when we finally made it home. After she finally calmed down and I went into her room and sat down on the floor with her to have a serious talk. I asked her why she had to have a time out and she replied in her most sweet high pitched innocent little voice, "Because I was crying, and screaming, and yelling mean things at your belly". Oh I hate it when they are suppose to be in trouble and you need to be serious as a parent and they say something funny. I quickly covered my face and pretended I was crying. I even had tears I was laughing so hard. Anyways I LOVE Penelepe. (and hopefully the "mean things at my belly" are not her true feelings toward her baby sister.)
