While I was making a shopping list Thade asked if we could buy Strawberry Milk and Blueberries. Here is how the conversation went down…

Thade: Mom can we please buy blueberries and strawberry milk?

Mom: Thade, do you even like strawberry milk and blueberries?

Thade: I love them, I had them at school.

Mom: Really?!?

Thade: Yep, they are delicious, I promise I will eat them…

Mom: (thinking it over and realizing that Thade NEVER asks for fruit, so it might be a good idea) O.k. we’ll add them to the list.

Thade: Yay!

Then we went shopping, and I came home and made a delicious snack for the kids which included Strawberry Milk, Blueberries, and Bananas. Here is the result:

Thade: (popped a blueberry in his mouth) I don’t like blueberries!

Dylan: (also popped a blueberry in his mouth, and then spit it out quickly) Eeewwww yucky! I don’t like them, but I’ll squish them on my plate.

So this was a big blueberry FAIL! What to do with all of the leftover blueberries though…

I tried sneaking them into homemade blueberry muffins, but still this one was also a  miss. I like them, but none of the guys liked them one bit.

Yesterday I whipped up a batch of Strawberry-Banana-Blueberry Ice-Pops for the kiddos, and I’m going to see if they like the berries better in frozen form. We’ll see if they like them or not… I guess it is good that I didn’t invest in a berry patch for the backyard.
