Face paint. Need I say more??

On shopping day, Mama Dear and I found some face paints, along with a book of how to *do things the right way*. As I am sure you can guess, it didn't take long for all the little people in our house to get right onto putting it to good use!

 They even manged to get Joe wrangled into it!! ;)

Aimaija, getting Joe all decked out.

I think he almost had as much fun as they did.

Sophia, did up Celeisa.

Well.... I never said she was serious.

Knees were fun too.

Sisters, just having fun.

Summer Days slip slowly by....

As children play outside, the sun rises and sets, and the hours slip slowly by.....

The sun has been shining around Wesleytown.
The family here has been busy in the tide of everyday life, waking up and eating breakfast, then as the day begins, some head out to work, some to start the morning house work, well others are off and outside to tend to the animals. The morning pace of life continues on; the reading of story's and going for walks, the picking of apples, for pies, apple crisps, and apple sauce to be made and frozen for the long winter and freezing corn.

Taking long walk up to the fields and picking black berries. Playing house, outside and inside. Sewing. Knitting. Lots and lot's of reading.

A picnic at the falls...

Rosie and I decided to head off with all the little's on Saturday, for a picnic and a walk at the falls.
So we loaded the picnic basket full of good things to eat, piled in the van and headed out the door for a very fun filled trip!
We arrived, had lunch and then we went for a nice long walk... then waded a little (which I don't think was really allowed. However, considering there was hardly anyone there and no sign to say that we were *not* allowed to we decided to take the chance. :)

So here are some pictures from our day.

They lost no time getting to the swings!

Celeisa, eating a muffin and exploring.

The falls were beautiful!

Aiamija.

My beautiful big sis!

 

Litt'l lady.

They were collecting leaves to press.

Best of pals,

Yeah, they were a little giddy :)

Rosie.

The four troublemakers.

Hmmmm....

 

Yeah, she actually does act goofy sometimes! ;)

 

Art.

Water flowing from the rocks.

The Falls!

This stream was dried up.

Through the trees.

They had to test it first...

 Then it didn't take long...

 

 They moved pretty quickly.
