My Little Laura Ingalls
Mita As Laura Ingalls
Today Mita went on a field trip to a one-roomed school house. The kids were allowed to dress “olden day style” and Mita wore the gown that Meg had for our trip to Williamsburg, Virgina years ago. It fit Mita perfectly, as it was way to large for Meg when she was in Kindergarden. (Thumbs up to me who ordered it large to make it last longer:)
This morning at breakfast Mita asked me to do her hair like Laura Ingalls. We love watching Little House on the Prairie DVD’s and the books are a favorite in our house. I must confess that as a child I would pretend to be Laura or be a close friend of hers. I used to imagine that Laura came to play with me from her time and I had to teach her what cars were and how airplanes flew. I even had Hubby drive out of our way so we could visit Walnut Grove years ago, well before we had kids.
So here is a picture of my very own Laura Ingalls. I am so happy that my kids love the same books and characters that I did as a child.
Mita looks adorable! What a wonderful idea for a field trip. C-Bear’s 1st grade classs is watching Matilda (rated PG) this afternoon so we have pulled her from class and will be going to Boonshoft instead. I’ve been trying to decided if my girls are ready for Little House yet. I loved them as a kid too and can’t wait to share them with the girls.
