One day earlier this week, I recorded my Kindergartner’s day. She is the youngest of my children so I’ve tended to fit her in around my older children’s schooling. Some days I did very little schooling with her. As a result this day hasn’t been a typical day for us…
This time of year has my little girl enjoying lots of time outside. Her favorite thing to do is to make mud pies, mud cakes, and here she is serving up some mud brownies. It is a good dose of messy which is often followed by a very long bath.
