Melanie sewed up a few skirts for the dolls and helped Jennifer have a whole corner full of furniture for them (made out of cardboard) to go with the bunkbeds her and Nathan made for her birthday.
New clothes means new hair styles too!
I bought popsicle sticks to inspire pretty crafts and wooden houses and things...but swords were made instead. :o
Nathan finished his latest lego motor. He'll add the frame of the vehicle after, but is testing to make sure it drives well.
Good thing I lost that game of Qwirkle!
When I check on the kids in the morning they are usually stuck in a book.
It's hard to make it to breakfast on time when your bed is cozy and you have something interesting to do! Many a child is tardy when the breakfast bell is rung!
Jennifer has to get up a bit faster than the others and set the table. She occasionally is up all on her own and getting things done!
Matthew is usually buried in blankets when I check on him. He can't be reading 'cause his head is under them and it must be dark in there! He loves to just lay there dozing, or meditating. Sometimes when he is caught up in a really exciting book and he remembered to take it up with him, he'll be ready that. And deaf to the bell!
Jennifer is one motivated reader! She has been trucking through so many books all on her own. It certainly has made my job easier!

I love the photos of Evelyn sitting on Melanie and Jennifer in her gypsy dress. I love her imagination.
