My Little Poppies Week in Review 10
Here’s what the poppies have been up to:
Saturday
Is spring weather here to stay??
Sunday
Did you hear the big news???
Monday
After a way-too-busy winter and early spring, the kids and I decided to head north this week. We made a bucket list and it’s filled with all life’s most important and simple things. We did, however, pack owl pellets and praying mantis egg cases because that’s how we roll!
Tuesday
Happy faces in one of our happy places.

It’s okay if your read aloud is taking forever… as long as you are enjoying it.
Thursday
The finished product! Owl pellet art! ?
