Leilani had no school from Thursday to Tuesday afternoon – 2 play dates and a 3 day camping trip (and a visit to the dentist, who admired and cleaned her teeth)
Her friend from school Sophia visited her:
The birch tree in the back yard makes little seed pods (properly called “strobiles“) that easily break apart into flakey seeds. They stay on the tree all year, and sometime last summer, Leilani started picking them off the tree and pretending they were an ingredient for whatever she was cooking in her playhouse. You can see them in the pots in these photos.
