Well, if it's fruit anyway.

Here she is throwing back some prunes:

What? Never seen a girl with a mouth full of prunes before?

Nate and Natalie like to walk down our street to a little pathway that has wild blackberries. I am always a little concerned when Nate tells me just how many he let Natalie eat.

She just loves going outside with daddy.

Random Story: I had my most embarrassing moment of motherhood today. I took Jansen and Natalie to play at the park at the end of our street and things didn't start off well when a man and his daughter and dog arrived and the kids were infatuated with the dog. I don't know what the etiquette is in those situations so I let Natalie pet him a few times and then had to continually move her away, distract her, ask her to stop feeding it grass, etc. It seemed that the man was getting a slight bit annoyed. Jansen in the meantime is playing on the playground and toting around my water bottle. I saw him drink some and then spit it out just for fun and didn't think much of it but things were not fun anymore when I suddenly looked up and he was up at the highest point on the playground equipment and spit some water over the edge. RIGHT INTO THE FACE OF THE DOG MAN who was pushing his daughter on the swings. He was wearing glasses. It was like in the movies. He did a little sputter and quickly snatched his glasses off and wiped at his face and I looked on in horror. Jansen did not mean to do it at all and had no idea the crime he had just committed. I apologized profusely and we quickly left the park because it was just plain awkward after that.
