Yesterday we had the pleasure of going apple (and strawberry!) picking with our friends at Gizdich farm in Watsonville. Jack loved the dusty dirt, which is out of the norm for him. He was filthy by the time we got home, but I’m so glad we went.

Did I mention I made Jack’s backpack? I used this pattern from twirlybirdpatterns on Etsy, and for the most part it was fairly straight-forward and easy to do. For a novice-sewer (like me), it took my friend Lindsay and I about four hours to sew. Proud of me, Mom?
