Here is a picture of the bountiful basket I picked up last weekend.  It had lettuce, spinach, tomatoes, avocados, potatoes, bananas, apples, mangos, blackberries, pineapple, honeydew and apricots.  Definitely way more food than I could have bought at the store for 15 dollars.  There are in about 15-20 states - check it out on bountifulbaskets.org.  (They are in Texas).  I will probably order every other week or so.  Everything has been really good.  I finally got B to try fresh pineapple (they eat canned) and he loves it.  Ended up giving away some of the tomatoes and the lettuce was somewhat wilted when we got it so it did not last, but most everything else has been eaten.  We even ate the 8 pounds of strawberries that I got as an add on.

B had a soccer game today and he tore it up.  Scored 3 goals!!!  Yes, I know sports are to be fun and it does not matter if they score or not, just fun when they finally get to where they can compete with their classmates.  He took quite a few tumbles and always got back up.  The entire second grade at their school is doing a reading project right now.  For every 15 minutes they read, they score a 'run' in their baseball reading.  They have to score 4 runs by the end of this week and then they participate in a 'field' day the last week of school.  The teacher told the kids that they could either read or the parents could read to/with them.  That was all my precious little guy needed to hear.  Give him an inch and he figures out how he can take a foot.  He is convinced that I can read to him while he plays the Wii.  NOT.  He has to make 3 more bases before Friday!  Otherwise he will learn the hard way about procrastination.  His class is also having a sleep over this Friday in their classroom.  Sounds like a lot of fun - I volunteered to help but some of the other parents that don't get the opportunity to be in the classroom will be spending the night.  At Jbirds Mother's Day program I saw a lady that I recognized from the school.  She came up to me and asked if I was B's mom.  I said yes and she went on about how much she adores him, he is one of her favorites and how he has the best personality...always excited to tell you something.  The kind of interaction that just brought a huge smile to my face!

This week Jbird has his preschool graduation and B has his cub scout graduation - moving on up to the Bear rank.  Half way through Cub Scouts.  Not sure if he will go on into Boy Scouts but we sure do have an active Boy Scouts.  They camp once a month all year long.  Recently they had an outing where they invited the older Boy Scouts.  It snowed that night.  They started a 5 1/2 mile hike at 9pm under the full moon.  Not my idea of fun but I guess no better way to get them to be 'always prepared' unless they get out there.
