A nature walk and the letter L

Every Thursday I meet with my mama friend Laura and we have a much needed playdate.  The day is as much for us as it for our little people to play.   I normal descend on her abode a for a yummy salad and something easy for the kiddos like pigs in a blanket or pb&j's and then let them run around wild playing in the backyard while we gab about any and everything.  It is a nice respite and I look forward to it every week.  Recently we have tried to be intentional about doing something to enhance and compliment our children's schooling during the week.  We each have preschoolers so we decide what letter we will be doing for the next week and then for Thursday we do something related to that letter.  This week was L...so what better way to incorporate this letter than to go on a nature walk and collect leafs and then do a simple craft with said leafs.  Simplicity is the key word.   We are both about regaining simplicity in our lives and so our crafts are just that, simple.  Kids don't care ...they just love to create.
I love this relationship with my friend and I love watching our children interacting with one another.  God is good to us through the sweet people He sends into our lives.  A breath of fresh air, a compassionate listener, someone to giggle with, and an encouraging word...Thursdays are nice!
