February 19

Today has been all about dirt and juice.
And dirt as Juice.

(But before that...)We made fudge-cicles.
Madeleine is allergic to milk, so...We added ovaltine to chocolate silk to soy vanilla yougurt....
some we layered with more yougurt.
mmmm, the babes say.

We had a high temp of something like 42f or so.

So...
you know...we were Outside.

Skating on our tiny pond
A little Friend came to visit for a while.
Shortly thereafter, Mama scooted off, and Daddy, babes, and Visitor did what they did. (not sure what that was. Prob'ly more of the same.)

Mama introduces the newest family member.
He (Gibson) is a Long Time Coming.

Let me just say what a joy it was to see these babes with this guitar!
Both of them picked it up, and just started strumming and singing right away. They had no reservations, no shyness, just... went to it. Like they had been born holding this instrument.
Making up songs as they went along.
It was awesome to see that!

We checked out the Eye-Clops game scope thingy. Plants, the owl pellet bones, the crystals in the making...
our lips, hands, clothing...

Madd investigated a bit with geo puzzles. (and gloves.)

We got out our seed shelves, flats, and cells.
And filled our cells with soil to make them ready for our seeds.
(The next part comes very, very soon.)

Right this minute it's Catch-up for Mama, Animal Armageddon for Trev, and Gibson Guitar for Madd.

An' it's time for Mama to join one or the other.
'Night, then.
