Quiet Solitude...

Quiet is not often found around here but I try to nurture everyone to take a few moments each day and enjoy a little peace. We have been watching the slow emergence of Spring with wonder, it is so fun to describe it all to a three year old and know you described it to her last year but realize she is getting it more and more each year...
We spend a lot of time outside under a quilt (or even throwing a quilt right on top of the snow) observing and sharing stories...

I love the ingenious use of recycled materials to make the ice shacks on the lake. Now THAT looks like solitude. Maybe I'll pick up ice fishing next year...



And the time alone with each child is so much fun. Kasper is really into tutus right now (yes at 13 he will realize how much of a bummer it was to have a big sister who convinced him this was cool...) and loves to dance and do fingerplay to the many different songs we are learning at storytime.


We are excited for the snow to melt and the year to march forward into the next season. Embrace these next few days of cold because I really think this is IT for this year!
