White Clover Crowns and Daddy Time

I peeked out the window and caught a glimpse of a beautiful picture...
The yard full of white clover flowers...
and right in the middle...daddy...making white clover crowns for his girls...
The shots were a bit blurry, but its a memory I don't want to forget...






Silly Girl Makes Us Laugh...

Just when we least expect it, this little one makes us laugh and laugh with her silly faces and cuteness...

These kiddos love to play in the rain...

There is just something about kiddos and puddles!

Happy Birthday Little Bitty


Look who turned 5!
We are so proud of our Little Bitty.
Here are five things I love about you...
1.)You have a contagious smile that can light up a room.
2.)You asked me the other day if you were still my little girl and did I love you..
Of course you are. and why sure I do ever so much more than you know.
3.) I can tell you enjoy gardening and helping out in the kitchen, you seem to be willing to lend a helping hand whenever I need one!
4.)  You get very weepy sometimes at night when you are tired.  Talking about how you don't want to grow up and you always want to be our little girl.
5.)  You have a tender heart that doesn't like to see animals hurt.

What you enjoy at five...
playing dolls with your sisters
riding the four wheeler when daddy will let you
watching Curious George
learning about herbs with Herb Fairies
doing our Annie Manners book together.
snuggling with mommy at movie time
reading stories
collecting things for your nature notebook

Some interesting facts about you...
You are the best supper eater of all the girls.
You are afraid of bears and robbers at night.
Your hair tangles worse than your sisters
We took you to target and you picked out a doll for your birthday.
You chose to go out to eat at a Japanese Steakhouse for your birthday supper.
You wanted a pink birthday cake

Nature Study Never Ends

There is always plenty of nature study to do around here with these two catching all kinds of critters...
 trapping...


 catching...
 

 

and yes even hunting...

this bullfrog was lucky...he was catch and release...
these guys weren't so lucky...
Yes, that is a cup of frog legs in the frig...just waiting to be fried for the frog bow hunters who shot them!




Dandelion Cookies....

We have lots of dandelions this year.
Most people call dandelions a weed, but they are really amazing for us nutritionally.
Dandelion can...
cleanse your skin
detoxify your liver
cleanse your blood
strengthen urinary system
and much more...
We learned dandelion petals make some pretty good cookies...
We all worked together to gather the petals...
 
the girls and I mixed and baked the cookies 
and we all ate them!  They were yummy.
