pia's me day

 ever since zoe had her "me day"
pia has been busy planning for hers
she knew exactly what she wanted to do
she wanted to go berry picking (this was a last minute addition)
have a hotdog picnic at the park
(the hotdogs had to be purchased from costco--
the food stand, not the store)
go to the playground 
and a trip to the ice cream shop

i tell yah, this little girl knows what she wants!

for breakfast she asked for toast with nutella


and after breakfast we made our way to the berry farm for some berry picking
and boy did we come at a perfect time!
the raspberries were plump, ripe and oh so delicious!











after our very fruitful adventure at the berry farm
we headed to the park for a hotdog picnic
(but first we stopped off at costco to purchase the hotdogs)
we found a nice grassy spot and settled in for a picnic






after filling our tummies with yummy hotdogs and fruit
the girls had some playground time




 the last item on her "me day" itinerary was a visit to the ice cream shop
but the little girl was so pooped that she fell asleep on the way to the ice cream shop
she didn't even get her ice cream wish


when we pulled her out of her car seat and she realized we were already home
and that we hadn't stopped for ice cream
she started crying and saying 
"my day isn't over, i haven't had ice cream!"

i would have felt sorry for her, but it was more funny to me than sad... ha ha!
i couldn't believe that she remembered even after her nap!

but we promised her that we would take her another day and then she was back to being happy

can you believe that she is already busy preparing for her next special "me day"?!

cute, great pictures! Your girls look like mine wearing their "work boots" out in the field (it's always so muddy out there). Love the pic of her passed out in the car.
