Pregnant woman

After drawing this, Lluvia said, "This is a pregnant woman. See, she has a baby in there -- that's the head poking out."

Yes, that circle between the legs is the baby's head :)

Solstice Activities

At our co-op, I told the winter solstice story, and then we drew pics of the sun to hang in the window and call the sun back. It was a really nippy day, too, so perfect for talking about winter. Then we made a sun cake (carrot cake with cream cheese sweet potato frosting).

Next week we'll make a fire and some wreaths.
