Little House on the Prairie

I loved watching Little House on the Prairie when I was younger. I read some of the books. Not the whole series, but enough to know I loved the stories. A while back, Angel said their family had been watching episodes of Little House and I thought that was a wonderful idea. When my girls were old enough I wanted them to watch it too. I think it teaches great values all the way around. Hard work, honesty, integrity, kindness and so many things you don't find in today's TV programs. When Lizette started into school and began having a few more social/friend issues and coming home with "attitude" once in a while, I thought maybe it was time to begin our Little House journey. I wanted her to see the contrast between Laura and Nellie and how the Ingalls girls showed the utmost respect to their parents. :)

Jeff found the entire series online so we bought it and have been watching it over the past several months. The girls absolutely love it. They talk about Mary and Laura and Carrie and all of their adventures. They worry when Ma and Pa have had a problem. Lizette has cried during a couple of episodes. (Who hasn't?!) I am constantly saying things like, "Would Mary and Laura act like that?" or "It's not so bad just having to sweep the floor. At least you don't have to sweep out the barn like the Ingalls girls did."

Aunt Abby knew how much the girls loved the show and couldn't resist making them some prairie dresses. :) She is so talented and nice! They turned out sooo cute and they will be worn and worn as they watch and play Little House. Love them!

We decided to all get into the spirit of things a while back and at least try on the bonnets. :)

It might be a little scary seeing this bonnet on the prairie! :)
