~Saturday~

We had a fun day today...our final day without Daddy!!! YaY!!! Unfortunately he doesn't fly in till midnight tonight so we technically wont see him till Sunday morning when we wake up. It was strange waking up Saturday morning without him. We always sleep in on Saturdays and then Robert runs out to pick up breakfast when he wakes up from either McDonald's or Burger King. Today it was just us. We had a rather 'lazy' morning and then headed out for a couple little errands, lunch at McDonald's(again something we always do with Daddy on Saturday afternoon) and cant forget about a trip to the PARK!!!

After all that fun stuff, we decided to make Robert one of his favorite deserts for when he comes home. I was reading Caren's Blog yesterday and saw that her girls made a Strawberry Pie after they went strawberry picking and I thought it would be fun to do the same :) We didn't get a chance to go strawberry picking but we did get them fresh from the local Farm stand. Since Caren was brave enough to let her kids do it pretty much unassisted I thought I would be brave and do the same. I wont lie to you, I don't usually let the kids help me cook/bake much cause the mess kinda gets to me, but they have so much fun when I do....I really must lighten up more often!




Don't they look proud of their accomplishment? Cant wait to have some with our lunch WITH Daddy tomorrow!!! WooHoo Hey on a side note, can you tell I took these pics with our actual camera and not my phone?? I apologize that my photo quality is not always terrific, I rarely have my camera with me, but unfortunately always have my phone ;)
