Yesterday we picked our ripest rosehips and put them in a basket on top of a cupboard to dry.

This morning K made things out of the busy box, including turning three toilet rolls into the Three Katies (brown, yellow and white hair and all). E read some stories.

Went to H’ville after lunch so I could do my supermarket shopping and go to the op shops, but E took the smalls to Kingston to BigW for supplies that are not available in the valley. I bought the smalls some more wooden and metal bowls and trays for their kitchen toys, then sorted out all the fugly plastic stuff when we got home, and put it in the top of a cupboard.

Read them Flower Fairies of the Autumn (since it will be winter next week!), the Flower Fairies Changing Seasons book, and the Flower Fairy Alphabet from the Complete Book of the Flower Fairies.

After dinner, read K two chapters from Little House on the Prairie and one story from The Just So Stories.
