On Our Prairie
The boys have really enjoyed everything about hanging the clothes on the line.

| We have a neat place in our area that makes homemade cracklings. We went by the store one day and bought some to try. The only one of us who liked them was my husband. I let him finish the bag . |
Everyone acted like I was crazy for wanting to get an actual hog's bladder to blow up for the boys to play. (Yes, they actually did that on slaughter day, according to Little House in the Big Woods.) I decided to just use a normal balloon and pretend it was a hog's bladder. :) The boys played with it for a long time until it burst.
That was our excitement this week. Follow along and see how we adapt without a dryer.
The Prairie Primer sounds interesting. We love the Little House Books. There are many lessons that can be learned from the way they lived and the things they had to endure. We are looking forward to the picture books we have on hold at the library. Hope you have a wonderful day~
ReplyDeleteWe are having so much fun. Thank you for taking time to comment!
DeleteWhat fun! I'm sure your children are enjoying exploring life on the prairie, both in book form and in life experience. I often forget we have a line out back (we just moved last year). One day I was waiting to run the dryer until evening because I didn't want to heat up the house. Then I remembered the line out back! So, we hung our clothes outside to dry and they smelled fantastic! It also gave me an opportunity to tell my children about how we had to wash and hang laundry when I lived in Papua New Guinea with my missionary parents. It sure made me appreciate modern conveniences all over again. :) Thanks for sharing this fun idea - you're my neighbor at the Better Mom link-up.
