The 4 year olds headed out on a windy Tuesday of this week for the Washington Farm field trip.

We enjoyed the petting zoo, a lesson on how strawberries grow, and picking strawberries. After, we picnicked and played on the playground!

Let me preface the next part of my story by sharing that Xander and I meet in our dreams. Each night as I tuck him in, we decide where we will go in our dreams. Some nights we go to the Millennium Falcon (star wars for those of you with no boys!) and we fight light saber duals. Other nights we go to the beach and build the biggest sand castle. Rarely do we duplicate the same dream in a week, always Xander's pick.

I know - you are thinking - don't we spend enough time together during our awake hours? Yes - we do. And, for the record, he only has a few hours to have all these cool dreams before he ends up sleeping with me - but none the less, deciding where we are going to go in our dreams is usually one of the cooler moments of my day.

So, on this night - I asked "Where are we going to go in our dreams?"

Xman: "to the strawberry patch - we're going to pick strawberries"

Me: "Am I going to eat them all like today?"

Xman: "No -in my dream, I am going to like strawberries."
