Horses and Bunnies and Goats, oh my! Not to mention the worms and Roly Polys, and a Pachycephalosaurus to boot.


Adelia came home from preschool the other day and drew this picture. She then informed me that it was a picture of a Pachycephalosaurus. Wow!

Her Primary teacher sent me this message on Facebook on Sunday:
This is what Adelia told me in primary today, "I am expecting lots of jewelry for my birthday. I need my mom to buy me rings, necklaces, bracelets, hats, and crowns. That is why I am being so helpful!"

Adelia's preschool teacher, saw the above message from the Primary teacher and added:
"Ok I have to chime in...I love that Adelia! At preschool this week we read "Yes Day". It's a story about a kid who gets one day a year when his parents say yes to everything. When I asked the kids what they would ask for or want to do on yes day, Adelia 's arm shot up and she told me she would ask for 10 horses, some goats and some bunnys! Loved it. And that's why yes day isn't a real thing ;)"

The weather has been lovely, and Del has been asking to spend her quiet times outside digging in the garden. She tells me she's collecting worms for her worm farm, and making a colony of Roly Polys.


Sometimes Ivan likes to go out and help her. 



This is what being a kid is all about, and it makes my heart so happy. I have so many memories of spending time outside while I was growing up, just using my imagination and nature to entertain myself. Even though we don't have as much backyard space as I'd like, I'm glad my kids have found a little slice of it to enjoy and create with.
