Every so often Madeline likes to pretend to be Amish. She always dresses like this. Today she decided to get Caroline and Holden in on the action. She even made Holden some yarn suspenders and gave him the hat from my decorations in the entryway. The only problem is that they wanted to continually go out the the "well" and drag water back and forth. This was supposed to be our drinking water, they were washing dishes and even tried to wash kitchen towels and bibs with it! It looked like a flood. Not good for a pregnant mommy who is a neat freak! I was finding myself continually saying, "Madeline, we are not really Amish. We don't have to do it that way!" I also played the, "Do you think Amish children ignore their parents when they are given a direction?" Have we been in Kalona too long?
