Market Flowers

Oh, that Olympia flower market! Oh, that Naomi and Kate and their thoughtfulness!

More Blocks

These are the smaller blocks our delightful guests played with the other day. Most of them are still available on clearance at KangarooBoo.com. They are a great way to learn math concepts while having lots of fun.

Block Play

Here's what the play is today. The big set of blocks I got here, but can also be purchased here. The book--which is very, very good--is here.

I have wanted a set of maple unit blocks since studying Early Child Education my first year in college, when the head of the department said, "If you have a budget which allows for only one thing, make sure that it is unit blocks." They are expensive, but the play value is endless. I'm so thankful that I could finally have them in my life.

Perfect Little Houses

Oooooh, what a treat! I found a new house plan site. It's Perfect Little House. com. This charming cottage, the Woodland, is just 950 square feet. Go and see!
