Little House on the Prarie

Posted in Be the Change
    I remember something about the television series Little House on the Prairie but It wasn't a show I watched.  I came across a DVD at the library that was Little House on the Prairie, I thought I would rent it and watch it with Alex.  To my surprise and delight it was not the TV show but a (2004) remake!   I didn't even know they did a Mini-Series.

     The first episode was rather long yet excitement was never far off.  The girls were on the edge of their seats, the girls being Alex and my 4yr old niece.  By the time the first "To Be Continued" flashed on the screen the girls were asking if it was over and complaining that it can't be over!  Can we please watch some more?  I would recommend this movie in a heartbeat, but you may want to watch it yourself first as there are some rather tense scenes.  We still haven't decided if we should let my niece see the last half.  It really got them interested in life on the frontier. 

    After watching the movie Alex and I made some log cabins and then Gabe knocked them down.  Then we made some more and daddy kept Gabe from destroying them long enough to take a picture.

This is one of my boys' favorite book series, believe it or not! Pa is such a great role model. :-) Noah and I have read Little House in the Big Woods, Little House on the Prairie, and Farmer Boy aloud this year. (We do one chapter -- me reading -- a day.) Farmer Boy is one of my favorite children's books ever. We took a break to read two other books, but I think we'll be starting On the Banks of Plum Creek shortly.

BTW, I am SO completely impressed with your diaper making skills! Those are really amazing!!!

I'm glad to hear that your boys love the books. Alex wanted to know more about their adventures so I told her we would have to read the books. I am looking forward to reading them. We just finished Jonathan Livingston Seagull and she really liked that one!

Thanks for the compliment on the diapers, I like em too. In fact I am going to get some more flannel tonight to make some more! I'm a sewing nut these days.
