Week 4 was an interesting week....I had such great plans for our new outdoor mud kitchen and making quiche & scones for lunch! But - as soon as we went outside, first thing in the morning, I slipped and fell VERY hard. I was out of commission for about an hour, but fortunately Gigi's awesome sister Jamie came to the rescue! She is Abbie's age & has quite a few little brothers & sisters (7 to be exact, plus 2 little nephews) so has tons of experience with children :0) Everyone was still able to play in the mud, crack a dozen eggs for our quiche, and measure & mix for scones! It was a great morning and I even felt well enough to do a short circle time before snack - although I did need to sit much of the morning as I was feeling dizzy. Hopefully we are done with freak accidents - here are a few pictures we managed to take during our busy morning!

| We read "Pelle's New Suit" - Pelle shears his sheep & dyes the wool, then trades work for carding, spinning, weaving & finally having it made into a new suit. Here Isaac & Josie are weaving on miniature looms. |
 |
| Ella is learning to card real lamb's wool! |
 |
| They really caught on - time to get out the hot pad making set! |
 |
| Gigi, Jamie & Silas getting the eggs cracked |
 |
| Ezra's version of cracking an egg was to just chuck it into the bowl ;0) Jamie fished it out & helped him tap it on the side instead....funny! |
 |
| I'm pretty sure Rachel & Isaac have done this before... |
 |
| Everyone wanted to add a bit of salt & a few spices |
 |
| Ah, some quiet time - there's our storytime book & a wee felted lamb I made over the summer |
 |
| Abbie & Gigi are working on the scones |

| Our yummy quiche! |
