It was a spectacular day on the farm! We did our farm chores and began work on our fairy pouches. They should be completed early next week. We’ll leave them in a special place, and see if the fairies and gnomes leave a special treasure in the pouches. When the pouches go home, we told the children that they might want to see if fairies leave a treasure in their pouches there, too!
This is what happens when you have two older sisters . . . you covet pink sparkly belts and are delighted when the sisters say you can borrow one for the day!

We’ve seen a lot of this lately–looks good to us! Vitamin D activation!

Snow White appeared at the petting farm . . . Sleeping Beauty wanted to try on her dress.
Boys love sticks . . . our rules are: don’t put the stick on someone else and don’t use the stick as a gun to hurt someone. So, the boys say that the stick gun is a water gun, or a laser gun, or a fire thrower. One desperate guy said he had a glue gun this week. This same guy may be one of our sons.

Back to guns . . .boys need to feel power over evil at this age. This is developmentally appropriate. We tell them they can hunt if they respect the animal and use it for food. This is a tough topic . . . don’t be alarmed if your son was raised as a pacifist to date, then breaks out a stick and opens fire.
