I added some shots from a birthday party we went to a few weeks back - Playdates 2009.

Playing in a tree:



All is well, we've had a nice week with only having to leave the house one. We played outside a bit to day and planted some strawberry plants in the flower bed. We also covered up some decayed pumpkins and their seeds from October with dirt to see if anything will happen to grow.

We are now onto Little House on the Prairie, after reading the Little House in the Big Woods. It is really magical for us all to look forward to getting into bed for stories before sleep. We've been averaging two chapters a night. L has been fascinated with the hunting parts (of course), and how Pa makes everything they need from wood or stone. He's decided he'd like us to move to the prairie and build our own house and fireplace too.
