Tree climbing

There is nothing better than having at your disposal a girl climbing tree right in your backyard. It's not too big so as to scare mommy but big enough to make one feel like they have conquered the natural world.

Max

Occasionally I will throw in a post or photos of our pets. After all, they are a part of the family too!

Welcome to the family Moondance

I rented a movie at the video store called Moondance Alexander. It's a sweet story about a girl and a horse. Love those. The girls watched it last night while hubby and I were out celebrating our anniversary. When we came home and I tucked Belle in she told me that tomorrow (today) she was going to be Moondance. She woke up at 6:30, was dressed in rainboots, shorts and cowgirl shirt. She went outside and swept the large patio. She picked up after Max, picked up and bagged fir cones, watered the lawn in several places. She was out for a couple of hours at least. I love it when she gets in these pretend roles. She often times does it alone and it will last for several hours to a day or two even. I also love that these creative roles tend to be helpful to me. After all, if she isn't pretending to muck out the stalls, she is surely doing chores just like Laura Ingalls.
