Harvesting Sweet Corn

It was harvest time yesterday at the Wilber's. It was a cloudy morning and somewhat comfortable outside! Which is a switch to waking up with 80 degree temperatures.

Isaac was ready to harvest the sweet corn on Monday morning.

Matt picked the corn and Isaac's job was to put the ears into the wheel barrel.

Working as a team.

Matt and Isaac had a great production line going.
 

Isabella told us she was not into harvesting.

She played the recorder out  in yard.  This is a much better option than playing in the house. 

You should hear the music when they BOTH decide to play!

Instead she ran around the yard with the corn stalks, like she was in a parade.

She did love the little worms we found in the corn. She had a entire worm collection.
There were mommy, daddy, brother, and sister worms.

Even though it looks like she is about to step on the worms, she didn't. They were a family.

Isaac enjoyed the corn of the cob. He LOVED it!

Taking Pictures

How many pictures does it take to get a good picture of my two little munchkins? Sometimes there is not enough time in the day to take pictures. They usually end up looking like these. One, two, or both are not looking at the camera. However, they both are still just darn cute!

Harvest Time

We did a little harvesting of some of our garden over the weekend. Matt and Isaac dug some red potatoes. You don't know if you are going to get red potatoes or white when you start digging. When the potatoes were planted Isaac and Isabella just dropped potatoes them into the holes Matt dug. There was no rhyme or reason. It will always be a surprise when you dig them up this way.

Then, we picked the first four rows of corn that Matt and Isaac planted first. Isaac stuck it out the longest helping us get the corn husks off. Isabella mainly played in the sandbox and only helped with a few. At the end they both found it was a lot more fun to parade around the yard carrying tall corn stalks and chasing each other with them. However, by this time I wasn't clicking pictures any more. I was elbow deep in corn silks and husks!

Isabella wanted to know what was inside.
I told her it was a surprise she had to unwrap.

Isaac was very intrigued to find that some little worms also liked to eat sweet corn and some of them were still munching.
