First Havest

I was excited to get our first crop of pears this year. My kids adore pears and pears are a special treat to take to school for snack. I planted three pear trees and we all had a hard time waiting until our pears were ready for picking.This is my littlest guy and his cousin holding some of our first pears. Just a warning, you will see as many pictures of my nieces and nephews as you will of my own children. Our kids are growing up not only as cousins, but almost as brothers and sisters also. My husband and I were reminded of this on the way home from church Sunday. The two of them were arguing over where she would sleep the next time she slept over at our house. My little guy wanted her to sleep outside in our heated dog house, and she wanted to sleep in his room. This is what my husband and I hear during the entire trip to Nanna and Boppa's house.
"No, I want to sleep with you."
"Nope, in the dog house."
"No, with you."
"No, outside."
"No, I won't."
"Yes you will."
"No."
"Yes."
"No."
"Yes."
That continued on and on and on and on. The funny thing is that both of them were very calm during this exchange. He was enjoying teasing her and she was not going to give in!

Enjoy your day and thanks so much for stopping by!

  3. Those pears look great -- I don't think I know anyone else in Minnesota who actually got real fruit from their pear trees! I'm impressed!
