Nature Box

Since Sara was picking up a lot of acorns on our hike the other day, I decided we'd take them home and start a nature collection box. She can keep things she finds on our hikes outside in her box. It had a few oak leaves and some acorns in it and today she wanted to go around the back yard and gather up flowers for it. This was the end result and on our next hike we'll add something else.

By the way we asked her what was inside acorns and she said you crack them open like eggs and fish are inside.

(since she is so cute I'll post two pics, you can see her new haircut better here too)


She's been really into wearing these little dresses even though it's getting cooler so we've been making her wear shirts and jeans under them sometimes.

Also tonight she laid out these tracks all by herself. We were actually pretty impressed. She's really looking forward to getting more trains for Christmas and has already been making a list for Daddy.
