A New Year


Happy New Year!

Last night we all stayed at home and played games, snacked, enjoyed the new branch rope swing Mike made for the little ones, and watched a movie from the BBC that wasn't really all that good.


It is just a branch slice with a rope.  We have high ceilings in our living area with a beam across the middle - perfect for a swing.  We can take it off and on easily with a "S" hook.

and a bar too!



a  late night treat of sherbert

Today we are still enjoying one another's company -
the tree came down
more organizing and cleaning
home learning planning
goals and lists are being made (goats, chicks, herbs, berries to start)

and


cinnamon rolls for lunch

Warm wishes for a beautiful day and a year filled with beautiful moments,
Tonya

  3. I gave my kids a late night treat of sorbet last night. They both have colds- but it was New Years Eve after all. The got to watch Robin Hood too, their favorite, and one of mine too. We need to make one of those swings, I saw one for sale at the toy store in town. I think they wanted seventy dollars for it.
