In this glorious fall weather, the kids have spent hours creating an outdoor playhouse. Three days in a row they hauled furniture, baby dolls, play food, and multiple other accessories outside. They gathered twigs and pieces of bark from the yard to define the individual rooms. They built imaginary fires and constructed tee-pees. And then they played; enjoying the fruits of their labors.
At the end of the day, everything had to be taken back inside and put away. When morning came the set-up began again in earnest.
I just love the way kids play. I love the imagination, the ingenuity, the creativity, the joy.
I also love how much they're learning through play, and the freedom homeschooling affords us to enjoy such things as outdoor playhouses.
What warms your mommy heart?
Grace and Peace,
Angel

Girl, it's so good to see your kids. They've grown so much! I love your backyard! Thanks for posting,
I love the yard too. I love these free, spontaneous times of play too.
That's awesome! Reminds me of my brother and sister and me playing in our yard. Makes me wish we had more yard for our kids.
my kids love to do stuff like that!
Thought I'd stop in for a visit as I haven't been by for awhile.
I love your pictures and yes, I too love when the kids play with such imagination and creativity! Now, to get myself out of the house and play along once in awhile. :)
