Leather Pants
In Kindergarten I asked around for some used Leather Pants. The kids wear those outdoors. They are water resistant and comfortable. My parents gave us a gift certificate to order one, but first I wanted to see, if Lenara is going to wear them at all. So yesterday we found some pants rolled up in Lenara's backpack. I have no clue yet, who gave them to us. But isn't it so nice, that someone thought of us?! And such a cute girly design! I love it. So far we both love Kindergarten. It's such a nice atmosphere among the kids and parents. We're just grateful!

Nice Scarfs to play with or decorate
I recommend this ebay-shop: http://www.ebay.de/itm/250923528350?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2648.
I just bought 9 colored (Waldorf) scarves to either decorate the season's table or for L. to build caves, houses, rooms, wrap her babies... whatever. This lady has them in all colors and for a really good price. I had been looking around for a while, but all I found from "real" Waldorf suppliers (catalogues etc.) were quite expensive, I thought. So I'm happy I found these... I can't post pictures yet, because the set of rainbow scarves is going to be my birthday gift for L. ;)

Natural exhibition
I spotted this one on someone's yard a while a ago. And yesterday I bought a second hand frame for 2 € somewhat like this one... Simple but beautiful!

Gone Fishin'
...something for O to play with on rainy days. It rains all the time here. It's made from a simple magnet and some washers all from the hardware store. The fish are from scraps of fabric with button eyes. I started to get lofty about the pretty and elaborate fish I wanted to make but I decided to just make the fish so the playing could begin.
In exchange for my homemade bread, a lady taught me how to make our own yogurt. It's really easy, basically heat it and then cool it, then let it sit. Its so much better than all the sweetened yogurts here. And, Olivia liked it! It even worked with the lactose-free milk.
Other than these things, I'm trying to 'get out of the way' more and let Olivia play but be the warm presence at the same time. There's been rain, snow, and intermittent flower planting. Olivia picked the colors of the primroses (which are frost durable) then she helped dig and cover along side.
It's funny really because we've done more mommy-daughter things but I've made it a point to not have the phone/camera with me. I feel like I want to not rush the product but focus on the process more...which leaves only product pictures though.
Thinking about a hair cut...but we love the bed head.
