Our neighbor introduces the new additions....

While waiting for the California Dreamin' family to arrive I began The Tiger's sweater.

They arrived early Sunday morning - around 3 am, after a long day of driving. When The Pirate woke up the first thing he did was go to the window and look at his playhouse. He and his sister have been longing to play in it for some time. They couldn't even wait for breakfast before they were in it. They cleaned, swept, and dusted. When all was to their satisfaction the kiddos had a tasty picnic lunch in the playhouse and then dug out the little people and had a great time the rest of the afternoon, quietly playing.

Today, the kiddos and Hubby cut down a dead tree and hauled away the branches. The kiddos loved the free ride.

 

I got out the pirate hat and dropped it into the washer. When it was felted enough I popped it on The Pirate's head and he was good to go!

This evening, while visiting with the kiddos, I looked out the window and we saw a doe with her TRIPLETS! In all the years that we have lived here, we have never seen triplets, twins in this area are quite common but not triplets. Poor Momma was a little impatient - but with three new babies who wouldn't be a little frazzled?
