So the strawberry jam was a HIT! Three containers of it made it to the freezer, but one is in the fridge and is mostly gone...after one meal. Yesterday morning I had decided to fix everybody (everybody but me, that is) pancakes for breakfast so they could sample some of the jam. As usual, I had two happy people (Hanny & Dad) and two unhappy little gum-bumpers (the other two). It's true what they say, you can't make everybody happy all the time, so I don't even try! I eventually convinced Doodle to eat a pancake, as long as I assured her that I would also sprinkle a little powdered sugar on top. Boo, on ther other hand, was SURE that she didn't want one and decided to have a piece of toast with peanut butter & strawberry jam. I did talk her into tasting one bite of Doodle's pancake, and she was hooked. She ended up eating her toast as well as a small pancake with strawberry jam and powdered sugar. If I can get them all to eat something without any complaints, I've succeeded for the day. :)
Doodle has been an excellent helper in the strawberry patch this year. She gets right down there and picks them, always being careful not to step on anything. She also gives her sisters strict instructions to "WATCH OUT FOR THE RUNNERS!" I told Gary yesterday that she will be a great mom someday (you know, once she gets past the idea of putting the kids in the backyard like prairie dogs...long story) because she's such a natural manager. Until then, I guess she'll just get to boss around her sisters...if they'll allow it! :)
