Here I am- up way too late on this weekend evening. It was a rainy week but thanks to all of you wonderful parents we all have rain clothes and can go out to play. They children found the dripping water from the gutter and rain pipe and were in heaven. The puddles were like lakes, the squirmy, wormy, worms were in great abundance and the play continued.... Besides the rainy play there was, The House That Emmy built, with the help of Mimi and Oskar. if you look carefully they took ALL the pails, shovels etc and made a boundary that was the house, then they put a concrete (their word!) floor and painted it- with sand of course. The logs were the ravine where the river went through. They played and painted and climbed until it was time for lunch. We also made applesauce this week and on Thursday when the littles were napping in the living room in their beds, Emmy, Mia, Oskar & I cleaned our playroom- we took everything off the shelves and wiped them down with lavender soap and water, dried each shelf and put everything back. Then we opened my closet- it is in the playroom and just outside the closet door there is a very mysterious light switch- when you switch it nothing ever happens. But today lo and behold the light went on in my closet then the children washed the floor to get rid of all the fuzzles and had a grand time taking all my shoes out, looking at them, commenting on them, before neatly putting them back. We have the cleanest playroom in the world.
Here are the photos of the week
