Call Day #155, 5/11/16

We picked strawberries yesterday, so this morning we decided to make shortcake to go with them. Eleanor read the recipe, overseeing its preparation but let Oliver and Claire help.

Eleanor still had money to spend at Fresh Market from winning a contest there. She wanted to go there to buy lemonades for a lemonade stand on Saturday and coffee for Nanny. She also offered to let both Claire and Oliver pick out something they'd like. No surprise-they picked candy.

We went to see Nanny and Papa and share our strawberry shortcake. Papa had volunteered to do some work on our van, and the kids watched him work.

We went to soccer practice. Claire runs back after a quick water break.

Hot, hungry kids were happy to have dinner at Sam's, complete with an Icee and a drink to be shared among them. Oliver poses for the picture.
