Pioneers


Ma and Pa at Breakfast

Our precious second graders have been studying the Pioneers. They recently read "Little House in the Big Woods". Today their book study ended with a Pioneer Day. It was the cutest thing I have ever seen. Sweet little cherubs dressed as Pioneers. Our precious class has six second graders. They worked it out amongst themselves to each be a character from Little House on the Prairie. Ma, Pa, and Laura live at my house. Aren't they the cutest things you've ever seen?!

Little House on the Prairie



What a treat! Tonight the Tampa Bay Performing Arts Center offered a special deal to encourage families to attend "Little House on the Prairie". For every full price ticket bought, you received one free ticket. Our triplets just read "Little House in the Big Woods" in their second grade class. Their test was LAST WEEK. It was just too good to be true!! Sweet hubby encouraged me to take the big 3 tonight to see the play. We rushed home between ballet and choir and they showered and changed clothes. We met DH for dinner and he took our 2 little girls home while I took the triplets to the play. They were mesmerized. The most exciting part was that Melissa Gilbert was in the play. This time she was playing Ma!! It was so exciting to see her. After the show they had a talk back. We had to stay even though it meant the children were up THREE HOURS past their bedtime! Tiny was able to ask Ms. Gilbert a question! She asked if parents travel with the children who are in the show. The answers were different for each child. One child had parents who alternate traveling with her, and another child had her grandfather as her chaperone. It was really neat! The show was fantastic. We loved the music and the fun humor sprinkled throughout the play. If it travels to your town, you must go!
