Real dough, play dough, and my flower girls.

Homeschool playgroup, after making mini-pizzas from biscuit dough, and having their faces painted! Sweet kids!

I made the kids some homemade play dough out of flour, salt, and water! Very fun! Mal is showing off her "Frosty the snowman"

Bri's famous head tilt. I think she knows it's cute.

Frosty and a beautiful smile.

She couldn't stay as still. Bri's blurred face and her Frosty ;)

Famous head tilt again, and Mal picking flowers.

I thought they were so cute out there picking flowers together, I had to run in and get the camera!

I have no idea...looks like the cover of someone's album, I can see it now, band name: Raising Dandelions.

Maybe I'm biased....

....but these girls seem photogenic to me; even if they weren't!...but they are. ;0)

"I'm gonna getcha!"



*sigh* A picture says a thousand words. Priceless.

 Can I just say that I love staying home with my girls. I am getting to know them now more than ever. They are such sweet kids. Mallorie can read most of the words in the scriptures when we read together. And she surprised me yesterday, having remembered stories and meanings behind them, and where the pictures were and in what order in the book before we turned to them. Wow. It was a learning moment for me. And the other homeschool moms have taught me an important lesson, just by their examples: Just breathe. Don't overload children with things, just teach by the spirit; things both spiritual AND TEMPORAL. Love it. It is building a mutual respect between the girls and I. Who could ask for more.
