Little Miss draws a lot of pictures! This is a horse she drew for me a few weeks ago—see its hooves?

Mr. Diligence and a friend built this bike trailer for Mr. Imagination’s birthday. The little fellow has had a lot of fun pulling it around behind his bicycle.

Little Miss built a house in the living room one day.

Mr. Intellectual has done a lot of wood working lately. Here is one of his recent creations, a pancake turner from an old electric pole. The wood was very hard, but brittle, so this turner ended up breaking beyond repair, unfortunately. It was beautiful, though!

Simon can still get Mr. Diligence down!

One evening, the fire got going so hot that the children asked for marshmallows—and toasted them through the closed door! We’re being more careful now as to how full we load the stove with the offcuts from Gayle’s work at the mill.

    I’m really enjoying seeing the wooden utensils. So beautiful! That’s a craft that has some great potential in the future. It’s nice to know that our living room isn’t the only one that sees a lot of wrestling. 🙂

      It certainly isn’t! I tell them to wrestle outside, but of course they don’t like to do that. Our living room is hardly big enough for these big bodies!
