What kind of Canadian/American Mennonite mother am I? My three children are outside playing war. The War of 1812 to be exact. No doubt influenced by Andrew's study of The Bully Boys and Lt. James Fitzgibbons. They are building forts and using all sorts of weapons (including golf clubs as guns). I am surprised that they haven't yet included horses as he is also studying the history of the North West Mounted Police - later to become the RCMP. They are having a blast!
Olivia has a birthday party in about half an hour. I have reminded her several times that she will have to trade her weapons for party attire and a girl hairdo. I love the days when all three play together so splendidly.
The kids are all getting used to doing their own chores once again since Grandma Katie left. She let them off the hook for 10 days in a row. We had a good visit with her.
Off to errands and to deliver Olivia to her party,
Sandy
