Not that the boys don't enjoy Summer's bounty of peaches and plums, but when you consider the juicy mess factor, crisp Fall apples are the preferred fruit for our little chowhounds. So this morning I was thrilled to see that bulk bags of organic Fuji apples have made their seasonal debut at our local Trader Joe's.
When we got home from the grocery store, the boys played outside while snacking on their apples. I was amused to hear the following "conversation" between Joshua and a bird perched atop a nearby wire:
"Bird, want some apple?" asked Joshua, offering his partially-eaten apple with his arm extended into the air towards the bird on the phone lines high above. No response from the bird. "Why not?" Joshua demanded to know. Still no reply from his avian friend. "Tweet tweet, bird, want some apple???" Joshua asked again, becoming exasperated with the bird's indifference. He then offered some apple to the neighbor's cat "Kitty, want some apple? ... why not?" etc.
I thought it was generous of Joshua to offer his delicious apple to his animal friends considering how heartily he seemed to be enjoying it. He even ate the stem and half of the core, then proceeded to devour Caleb's discards!
Haha! :) You're lucky that you have a local Trader Joe's -- we have to go either to Centreville or Reston for one, so trips are infrequent.
ReplyDeleteMichael loved your pictures of Caleb and Joshua on the fire truck ("gut") and at the train ("da") exhibit! One day we'll have to take a trip like that, too.
Well, our closest one is about 15-20 minutes away, so we don't go very frequently. How I wish one of the 3 Safeways within 5 minutes of our house were a TJ's instead!
