So we went strawberry picking on Sunday, for the first time this season. The berries were plentiful and we picked 15 pounds of strawberries which I expect will be all eaten by the end of the week. Everyone had a lot of fun, and Sully didn’t mind being on Mommy’s back. Eloise decided to wear her strawberry fairy tutu to go strawberry picking so we have a little strawberry fairy with us at the strawberry patch! Anyways here are some pictures Dan and I took while there, I took most of them, except the one of me.

Building again!

We had a very busy Memorial Day weekend. We were planning on a fairly relaxing one but things changed. On Saturday we did have a relaxing day, went grocery shopping, but that was about it, though the grocery trip did span 3 stores.

On Sunday we went strawberry picking and then to my in-laws for their annual Memorial Day cookout. One of Dan’s friends from middle school came as well with his wife, so it was nice to hang out with them. We had fun at the cookout and strawberry picking.

On Monday we decided to go to Sesame Place. We had discussed maybe going on Monday on Sunday and decided that both Dan and I felt up for it. So we made the 2 1/2 hour car trip up, there was next to no traffic, which was nice, and the Delaware toll plaza has been finished off and the traffic flow actually flows there now rather then being a 30+ minute ordeal. We had a fun 4 hours at Sesame Place and then headed home again. It was a nice day, though the ride home, was a bit rough with Eloise melting down at one point and us having to stop to get her to calm down, which woke up Desmond, sigh. Everyone had fun at Sesame Place though, Eloise even went on more then the carousel! She did the family water slide twice with Dan and Desmond, and one other water slide once with Dan. Desmond got to ride a bunch of water slides, and the roller coaster 3 times, which he really loved. Sully had fun in the water, and slept a lot, since it was so hot. All in all it was a great day if hot, and long with all the driving. Oh and we think that Eloise has motion sickness, which would explain the occasional car sickness episodes she has and her dislike of spinning rides as well!

Anyways here are a couple of pictures, I’ll actually do a post for pictures from each event, well except grocery shopping (since even I don’t take pictures of that!), since there are a bunch. I’m going to spread out the posts through this week though, so that I don’t have a ton of posts on any one day.

So we have a new pool for our backyard. I had bought one back when Desmond was 1, but it has a leak in it and is way to small for Desmond. So we went out to Toy’s R Us and bought a bigger one, for the small ones to play in. It even has a water slide! A small one, but it keeps them happy anyways. Unfortunately our backyard facet is not working right now, and Dan has not been able to find the shutoff/turn on valve for it yet, so we’ve had to fill the pool by hand. The two small ones have really enjoyed it though, and even Sully has had fun in it, getting wet. It is even big enough for Mommy to sit in it with the small ones. Overall the pool has been a big hit. So here are some pictures from 2 different days of using it.

All hail the King!

This is Desmond in the throne at his birthday party.

Here are a bunch of pictures from 2 Sundays ago when we were at my in-laws. We visit them almost every Sunday. It was nice out so we were all out in their backyard and they were playing with the three small ones.

While my Mom was here, back in April we took Sully to Sears, along with Eloise and Desmond to get some pictures done. I forgot to post a couple of them here though once we had them done, so I’ll do that now. On that note I still need to make up his birth announcement, hopefully I get to it this week. Anyways here are some of the pictures we got of Sully, Eloise and Desmond when we went to Sears.

Eloise giving Sully a kiss

Unfortunately Desmond’s hair kept getting in the way of a picture of him giving Sully a kiss.

Sleeping baby!

All 3 of them together. This picture actually was really easy to get, unlike trying to get a picture of Eloise and Desmond together, or even Eloise and Desmond individually with Sully.

Since the weather has been nice out and I’ve had a lot of help, thanks to my in-laws, Dan, and my Mom. We have been to the playground quite a few times this spring so far. So of course I have brought the camera, both the big and little one depending on the day. Of course since Sully Bear is so new, I haven’t had much time to blog, so I thought I would just post various pictures from the playground, from various days without making them all separate posts. So here are my 3 enjoying the playground!
