These Are The Years

Author Unknown

These are the years, the gentle years
the soft and sentimental years
when wee little fingers reach and touch
and little eyes gaze with wonder and trust,
when you love so tenderly and so much
these are the gentle years.

These are the years, the rainbow years
the quiet walk on tiptoe years,
the years of laughter and smiles and sighs
when both of you watch with misty eyes
the tiny bed where a cherub lies,
these are the rainbow years.

These are the years, the tender years,
the blissful, sweet-surrender years
when your little treasure from above
is the soul and purpose and center of
your plans and dreams and dearest love,
these are the tender years.

After our soap carving yesterday we had some little soap boxes left over , so arieana decided to make some doll frunitur. she painted one box pink for a bed and added pop-cycle sticks for a head and foot board and she painted the other white and turned it into a  wardrobe with little beads for feet and door knobs.

so today was handicraft day and we chose t do some soap carving. First we sanded down some pop cycle sticks to use as tools and then began carving away!  the kids loved it and cant wait to do it again, we hope that after some time of practicing with soap that we can move on to wood carving (the big kids at least)
