We finished the Little House on the Prairie Book. I (geo and jos) learned that prairie life was hard. They had to build everything like thier house, well. beds. chairs, tables, fireplace, barn etc. The prairie had a fire and they almost lost everything. Pa took the plow and plowed a dirt path around the house and then set backfires to save the house and barn. Laura described the prairie as having lots of grass and a big sky. They were in Kansas. These are pictures of the Kansas prairie.
Here is a prairie chicken. Pa would hunt and they would eat a lot of prairie chicken. (jos) I wouldn't like the food they eat. They didn't have a lot of sugar it was really special to have sugar. They mostly drank only water and milk after they got the cow. (Geo) I would love the food they ate because I like chicken and milk and cornbread. (mom) Would you like to eat that every day? (Geo) NO! 
At the end of the story they heard that Washington was going to make the settlers leave so they had to pack up and they had to leave to find another place to live. (Jos) It made me feel sad because they worked so hard to build their house then had to leave it. They just started their garden.
(Geo) This is a wagon like one that the Ingalls family used to travel in.

Wow, you girls learned a lot about prairie life! I love the little house books as well. I remember reading every single one when I was a little girl.
Can you imagine living where there are no trees? Although the prairie is beautiful, I think I would miss the trees. :)
Hey girls, did you save me a cookie? :)
I will show Sarah your page when I get home. She is home sick (AGAIN!) with strep throat. Daddy is home with her now. I hope you are all well!!!
Have fun with your books! I LOVE hearing about them and looking at your pictures!!!!

Hi Girls,
We have never read any Little House on the Prairie books, but we love to see old shows of their TV series. They are wonderful. Keep up the good reading. We love you.
