Last Weekend of August...


The weekend closes in with cricket symphonies outdoors, night lights on upstairs, and babies snuggled in tight with light cotton jammies.

Now comes my favorite season of all-- fall.

A House Full of Little People

Dress up, dress up, everybody dress up!

Some cute characters from the day.

A little time outside and lots of photos by Bobby using the new toy, thanks to last week's accident. Or was it really???

Really exciting presents for daughter and Mommy.

Another happy carrot-cake ending.

We're Not in Kansas Anymore


Glinda, the Witch, and Dorothy playing with a worm as they wait for the boys, the rest of the cast, to come.

Coloring books that Caroline and I illustrated together for favors.

The best part: all of the children chasing Bobby and the witch up the hill.

The gorgeous cake Elizabeth made.

A happy ending.

One Down, One to Go

The Wizard of Oz party came and went, taking my camera crashing down with it. Thus, the absence of photos of children chasing Bobby, holding the "vitch" (witch) Johanna, and her broom.

Thankfully, the broom was retrieved and all of the children, including Caroline, returned home to Kansas to enjoy cake and ice cream. Photos to come soon along with another August birthday party.

The Wicked Witch and Other Lovable Characters

It has been extremely fascinating watching the creativity of a little child expand. Everything Caroline touches with her crayons turns to gold. What I've learned? Let her be untouched. Let her mind flow the way it desires, without my persuasion and influence.

See creates the best when she decides.

Some new kitchen hand towels for a friend journeying off to college. The wicked witch loves to sew while others color and draw.
