open house lovely

many thanks to all who came out to our open house on saturday, during the busy mother's day weekend! the sun was shining for us, the grass was freshly mowed and the flowers were making a first appearance. we had so much fun making boats with miss toki, making our butter and bread and hearing a lovely story. i wish i had snapped more photos, but we were all so busy enjoying. a big thanks to all the class parents who helped out and contributed beauty to the day, to mr. alex for yard beautification and to all the families who joined us! it was truly a lovely lovely day... xo

lantern walk

this week we celebrated martinmas by holding a small lantern walk at our new playschool location. although we had a few stumbles, lights that went out too soon and it wasn't quite dusk when we started out it was still lovely and nourishing the way only a lantern walk can be. the children and I are still humming our songs from the past few weeks as the play becomes centered around lanterns, fire and walking out to the crabapple tree where the walk to place to look for lost lanterns, lost mittens and papa footprints. instead we found half eaten deer apples (almost more exciting!)
