Little House on the Prairie 9 book set has arrived!! Chloe was delighted to greet the FedEx delivery lady on the front porch to receive this package and opened it up herself. We are excited to start reading these books, we watched a little made for TV recreation of Little House on the Prairie (the the original TV show). Then with school both girls have learned about covered wagons, and the move west. Chloe recalled the movie and friend's of ours said they loved when their mother read them the books as kids, and still enjoy them as adults. So I priced some box sets, vs. my huge library fine that is due, and we decided since everyone told us these are books to be read again and again, the box set was our best bet! So each day after lunch and before quiet/nap time we'll read a chapter or 2.

Full size PB&J! Daddy made the sandwich... Mommy normally cuts it up a bit smaller, but big girl Tristen ate it like a little pro!

So what happens when you glance at your youngest and she's sitting so quietly looking at a book, then turn to hand some laundry to your older children to put away in their bedrooms.

You get the whole bottom shelf of the kids books scattered across the floor in seconds!

March update.

Much happens w/in a month! My birthday was one of our March events, I was spoiled a bit and have been able to get a few pieces of much needed clothing, and some home decor items. Much spring cleaning is taking place along with many attempts at organization, some being very effective!! I have created a "House to do list" a list of home projects to be done, some free some will require months of savings but we'll get there, and it feels good to check of an accomplished task and to see the results of a little dedication and work...

Tristen will make the big girl bed move this weekend, she's ready and will crawl up into our bed or her sister's and tuck herself in saying "night, night." Chloe, Molly, & Myself have discovered a homeschool playgroup near by, and it was delightful to visit w/mom's that didn't look at me like I had 2 heads when I said, "Yes, I have 3 kids, I homeschool, and we will soon have 4 kids." They are used to ladies with many more than that. Chloe and Molly played the shy game for about 5 minutes and then where off playing with a nice sized group of little girls their age that where all just nice and well behaved! The kids are now harassing me about next weeks playgroup, I hope the weather is nice so we can attend again, it was good for all of us and there were even little ones Tristen's size that played well with her it was just adorable!

All is well here with us, we continue to dream big and plug along with all that we do.

Flip Flops for all the Rouze girls, biggest to smallest!


So I haven't been the best and it took a friend pointing that out today, I'm not used to these things nor am I good about having my camera with me at all times to catch all those awesome moments, I am trying! The temps have finally broke into the 70's which means naked toes, flip flops, and just being outside enjoying the joy a little sunshine and fresh air can bring.
