This is what I did on Saturday:
- Got up at 7 am .
- Got dressed.
- Woke Mimi up (my first mistake).
- Got some breakfast.
- Left the house at 8 am.
- Drove to Butler's Orchard for blueberry picking. (very pleasant drive with Mimi).
- Arrived at Butler's Orchard at 9 am ready to pick blueberries (peak anticipation).
- Took tractor ride out to blueberry fields. (they constantly shuttle people back and forth every 5 minutes remember this).
- Started picking berries ( I came here to work. I had lots of blueberries in mind).
- 5 minutes into the job, guess who is ready to go home?
- Stayed and picked 17 pounds of blueberries all by myself.
- Did everything in my little imagination to keep her interested in staying there (you would be proud. I didn't yell at her. Too many other people around)
- Listened to Mimi bug me every 5 minutes to get on the tractor to go back to the car.
- Got on the tractor.
- Paid for the berries.
- Went to McDonald's for lunch.
- Drove home.
- Took a shower and took a nap (I deserved it. I just picked 17 pounds of blueberries)
- Made these yummy muffins.
I did more things, but nothing else that relates to the delicious picture at the beginning of this post. I deserve a big, fat I TOLD YOU SO for bringing Mimi with me. I actually thought that she would be a good worker. Shows how much I know.

Ahhhh...we should all know better with our kids, yet, we do stupid things sometimes. I don't think it matters if they are 6 or 12 (an age they should know helping makes us leave faster). I do it all the time, too.
Kudos to you for not yelling at her--I would have done the "mom hiss"--the quiet but deadly "you BETTER pick blueberries!"
17 lbs though? Veeeery impressive!
My favorite? That you didn't yell. I don't know Harmony, but I ditto her comment on the "mom hiss." Too funny.
Tried it. Didn't work.
I came to a point where I just wanted her to shut up. I didn't care that she wasn't helping, I just didn't want to hear her whine anymore.
I really shouldn't read your blog when I am hungry. Now I just want blueberry muffins but I'm too lazy to make them.
I'll leave some on your doorstep when I leave this morning.
I'm a keeper....
I miss living so close. :( I want a yummy fresh muffin made by Marianne... oooh i just discovered the name of your bakery...
Made by Marianne. :)
LUCY I LOVE IT!! I am going to use it. You know, one of my dreams is to open up a bakery. I'd totally hook you up if you didn't live a hour away.
OMG The picture!!! Now you KNOW I can't afford to eat muffins at midnight (in Germany) but I sure do want them!!! YUMMYYYYY!!!!
