Good visit and blueberries

Kyle, Pam and Shay left today. And Matt and Margo too! All of us are feeling kind of down here- it was so nice to have them here. Shay and Bright chased each other around almost every night until they had worn themselves out. Then they shared a bath together most nights. Bright was in love and in awe of this big kid that would actually play with him. Shay took on the big sister role quite well. I have lots of pictures but no time right now to download them. Bright has pinkeye. Boo! That put a damper on our last day together since I didn't want the three of them to fly home with a goopy eye.

This morning, since we decided it would be better to not infect the kids at Together Time, we went to pick blueberries instead at the Sugar Shack. We rode on a stretch golf cart up and down hills to get to the fields way out back where the picking was happening today. The variety that was in season was a little on the tart side, just how I like 'em. Bright practiced saying "pick" while grabbing huge handfuls of them and rolling them gently into the buckets. He was a great picker for about 20 minutes when he must have gotten hungry because he started putting those huge handfuls directly into his mouth. He had so many at one point that his lips couldn't close when he was chewing! After letting him eat almost his weight in berries we went to pay and we had gotten five pounds for 1.65 a pound. Not too shabby! We may go back tomorrow- those u-pick places bring out the greedy in me. I seem to just want all of them when I get there and it's hard to leave. Apple season is almost here. The Cider Mill is open which means a cup of cider and a cider donut are ready- for a 1.75. Yahoo!

So we are looking for potties for a boy. If anyone has any good suggestions of brands for a boy, please let me know. Bright is very interested in the one we got at a yard sale but there is no deflector for him and his bit and pieces don't quite make it into the pot.
