I'm not the only one looking forward to spring. I haven't bought grapes in at least three months because the price shot up to nearly $3 per pound for seedless varieties, but will be affordable again in the spring. Unfortunately, next to bananas, grapes are my children's absolute favorite fruit. So you can imagine their excitement when my sister turned up with a pound and a half of red seedless grapes already washed and ready for the eating.
Javi took his vat and escaped to his room to eat them while finishing up latest book. Bella disappeared, too, but then she showed back up with her apron and a determination to help me pick each and every grape off the vine. I prefer to leave them on (surely that keeps them fresh longer), but she was a woman on a mission (and this is a great way to work on those fine-motor skills).
You see why I couldn't stop her, right?
she's just too dang cute!
Those curls are too precious! Miss D. is a grape-lover, too. I am so sick of clementines and bananas and apples. I'm ready for strawberry season!
I agree -- winter fruits are old hat. We're planting strawberries this year!
Aw, that smile! I promise not to tweet about the weather this week so that you can stay in your happy spring bubble. ;)
Your sister is on amazing lady! Hitting the spot with your kids, I bet that put her at the top of the relative list. : )
Bella looks so pleased with herself. Rightfully so.
@Cheryl - I'll hold you to that (though it was rainy and gray here today)!
@Amber - She is trying hard to win Bella over, but she's still on the bottom of the relative list (but only to Bella ... all the boy children adore her). She hasn't given up, though!
She's adorable! That apron looks almost like a dress on her! so cute!
