what great pics! Your girls are adorable. That is quite the fall display of hay and pumpkins. Is that something you put together in your front yard??
I laughed hysterically during your post about Marta and the books. Isn't it funny how they get? I am so glad my kids love books so much. When we go to the library they are in heaven! Enjoy a great week. We borrowed your project idea. I showed Ella and it was right up her alley! All her babies are wearing leaf crowns with pumpkin seed jewels (her personal touch). We are huge project people. A few that we did this week: Ella made stationary of sponged fall trees. They turned out great. I cut out a bunch of shapes and then let the kids glue them onto orange circles for pumpkins, I drew shapes and let the kids glue pumpking seeds around the outlines (but then the cat for some odd reason picked them all off while we were on a walk). Lastly, after a nature walk, Ella glued many treasures onto construction paper for a fall collage. Keep passing on your craft ideas. We love them and do them too!
I'm a 33-year-old mom to two goofy, lovely girls. I've always wanted to start a journal for them, but can't seem to put pen to paper at the end of each day. With this blog, I'm glad to have a record of our lives when they were little. Berit, 5, and Marta, 3, allow Daddy Trevor and me to shower them with affection at our home in Petoskey. This space will also be a place of reflection during our adoption over the coming year. What a beautiful journey!
I never knew there was a kids' book called Pancakes for Breakfast, by Tomie dePaola, until a friend told me about it last year. We just... eat a lot of pancakes.
