Whatever the weather

Our first fire of the year🔥
Before lighting the fire we talked about safety.
"Fire hot on Astrid's hands."
That's right, we won't touch the fire because it's very hot.
"Put water on it." (Rumi's suggestion in case our fire got too big)
And Alice, and the rest of her friends, remembered to sit on their chairs safely as we lit the fire and enjoyed some yummy marshmallows 😋

Campfire experiences provide children with opportunities to develop risk awareness, self-regulation, problem-solving skills, and respect for nature. Through careful supervision, children learn to assess risks, follow safety procedures, explore scientific concepts, and participate in meaningful community experiences that foster confidence, responsibility, and connection.

Some of our chats and observations as we warmed ourselves by the fire:

Rumi: I see smoke
Me: I wonder where it's going?
Rumi: It's just blowing away in the wind.

Astrid: Fire is orange. Astrid not touching, no go to the hospital. I don't like it.

Alice: "Hot, hot, hot..." Alice did great at remembering that the fire is hot.

Wolf worked tirelessly today, transforming some of Nate's old pokemon cards into a tunnel cube. Doesn't it look amazing! He used a video for the instructions and a box cutter to make these precision cuts.
Great work Wolf!

We were recently gifted a big farm fresh pumpkin from one of my brothers. Today we scooped out seeds and prepped the veggies to make a big batch of pumpkin soup 😋
The house smells divine!

These were an absolute hit today 😋 We made them together this morning and waited patiently for them to harden in the fridge. A little bit of dark chocolate drizzled across the top didn't go astray!

"4 little speckled frogs...."

I'm sure the frogs appreciated our little song today!

Yes, we are still here!
Haven't seen a post in a while?
You are right, we haven't posted for quite some time.
I have made the decision to not post our little ones faces any more so that I can support their right to privacy and safety whilst they are in my care ❤️
We'll still be here, doing all of the amazing things we always do, and something may pop up from time to time, but updating social media will no longer be a priority.
Please, as always, reach out if you have any questions or need support in any capacity 🥰
