mari & juliette

I had a photo shoot Wednesday night and little one-year old Juliette just put her arms right out for Mari to hold her.  I think this might be the first time that’s ever happened to Mari and she just loved it.

a little old fashioned fun

We went to our favorite old-fashioned village with Jackie and her kids

We almost always go to the farm to see what they are growing & harvesting.  I learned about the 3 sisters something or other-plant corn and then pumpkins beneath and then pole beans to grow on the corn stalks, I may just try that next year.

sweet baby Tyler

They had all these old style games set up all afternoon, we played here for at least 2 hours! 

Mari got the hang of this after a lesson and ran back & forth, then she wanted to know why they don’t make toys like this anymore, I’d like to know too!

Tobin just loved this lady, she showed him how to make this top spin

Then the school bell rang and it was in to the one room school house, girls on the right, boys on the left for a 20 minute lesson.

a little sweaty & exhausted but had loads of fun

Tinker toy puppets

I frequently enjoy our kids creativity but this one really made me grin with pride.  They made people with tinker toys, now they’ve done this before but check this out . . .

The tall one is Nana D (our nanny), short one is Tobin, then Ezra, then Marian.  The impressive part-they did a little extra detail-Marian has pig tails and check out Nana D’s pony tail.

Feeling a little slighted, I asked them why they didn’t make one for me, “because we didn’t know how to make curly hair”, well that makes sense.

Then they put sticks in the bottom to make puppets:)

A new backpack for Ezra

Ezra’s first real school backpack, he was really excited.  He is sooo ready for school!  It’s now hanging in his closet and I get just a little sad each time I see it, not too much because he is so happy & ready to go:)

Special Effect:  I desaturated everything but the red & orange.  And, he’s not saying he’s #1, he’s holding up a pencil holder.
