Little House Days

Every year my daughters and I look forward to the first week in August. That is because we can go to Laura Ingalls Wilder Days at the Genesee Country Village & Museum. I know living back in the day was a lot of work, but there's just something I love about it and I would've liked to have been alive back then. Maybe it's the simplicity of life, the beautiful outfits they wore, or maybe the behavior of children and adults alike back then. Regardless, this year Sarah and I spent the mornings last week sewing away while the 4 other kids were at Vacation Bibe School. We ended up with 2 beautiful dresses that we needed to literally squeeze our way into! The next size up on the pattern would've given us a little more breathing room I think! Lol! Despite our cramped conditions, we made it through the day! Every year they have a different character from the Little House Series  come to visit. This year it was Lindsey & Sidney Greenbush - the twins who played Carrie on the show. Unfortunately, I just have this one picture of them. Not a good one but oh well! It was a fun day!

Gotta love this one!



The next pet Courtney wants!

Contemplating life long ago I guess!
