she's 4!!!


my sweetie, with the sparkle in your eyes, is 4 today! i cannot believe that she's growing up this fast.



our tradition for birthdays is for the birthday child to select, bake & decorate her/his cake/cupcakes. this year kari has chosen chocolate cake with strawberry icing. not a bad combo! lol! she also decided upon (with the help of mommy) cupcakes instead of a cake.



she got several packages from family and enjoyed her day tremendously!!!



happy birthday baby!

dig your hands in the dirt....


...children play with earth.

dig your hands in the dirt

children play with earth.




there's just something about children and dirt

whether on purpose

or purely by accident

when little hands and feet make contact

magic happens



so...dig your hands in the dirt

children play with earth

dig your hands in the dirt

children play with earth




(lyrics in italics from Children Play with Earth by Arrested Development)

HAPPY EARTH DAY!!






Go put your hands in mother earth!!

Plant something

Clean up

Recycle

Reuse

Reduce



One of the books I'll be reading (again) to my kids is: Earth Mother by Ellen Jackson.

Enjoy the day!!
