Too excited to sleep! Pa said we can use some straw to build a scarecrow after school tomorrow. Gonna make it extra spooky for Hallow's Eve!

[Carrie Ingalls *TH* @Carrie_Ingalls]

Found a patch of wild berries near Plum Creek. Me and @Laura_E_Ingalls picked enough for Ma to make compote. Pa's gonna be real surprised!

[Carrie Ingalls *TH* @Carrie_Ingalls]

Must be spring, 'cause there is a noisy old bullfrog croakin' outside of my window. I don't know what he's sayin', but he sure sounds happy.

[Carrie Ingalls *TH* @Carrie_Ingalls]

Olesons have pretty yellow daffodils in their window boxes. Gonna pick 'em after school & make a bouquet for Ma. Hope @MrsOleson don't mind!

[Carrie Ingalls *TH* @Carrie_Ingalls]

Was gonna use the chamber pot 'stead of goin' out in the snow to the outhouse. Then, I remembered that today's my day to empty 'em pots...

[Carrie Ingalls *TH* @Carrie_Ingalls]

It's Laura's birthday! Ma's makin' vanity cakes and Laura's chasin' Nellie into the leech-filled waters 'neath the plum thicket.

[Carrie Ingalls *TH* @Carrie_Ingalls]

Lost my balance usin' the chamber pot and it tipped over. Ma ain't gonna be pleased when she sees this mess.

[Carrie Ingalls *TH* @Carrie_Ingalls]

Scraped a bunch of spruce gum off the tree! Was gonna chew it, but it would be better as a salve for Pa's chapped hands.

[Carrie Ingalls *TH* @Carrie_Ingalls]

Hopin' that Pa buys Ma a box of chocolates for their anniversary today. I'm lookin' forward to sneakin' 'em! @Mr_Ingalls @Mrs_Ingalls

[Carrie Ingalls *TH* @Carrie_Ingalls]

Face-planted in the snow on my way to the outhouse. These ding dang bloomers are always fallin' down and trippin' me!

[Carrie Ingalls *TH* @Carrie_Ingalls]

Ma's makin' hot cocoa and Pa's poppin' corn. The whole house smells delicious!

[Carrie Ingalls *TH* @Carrie_Ingalls]

@Mr_Ingalls @Mrs_Ingalls @MaryIngalls_ @Laura_E_Ingalls (Shrilly) The sooner we sleep, the sooner St.Nick will be here!

[Carrie Ingalls *TH* @Carrie_Ingalls]

@Laura_E_Ingalls @Mr_Ingalls (Excited, eyes twinkling) We weren't doin' nothin'! Nothin' at all!

[Carrie Ingalls *TH* @Carrie_Ingalls]

@Laura_E_Ingalls @MaryIngalls_ (Stands on tiptoes to see out window, hollers) The lamp just went out! THEY ARE COMING NOW!

[Carrie Ingalls *TH* @Carrie_Ingalls]

@Laura_E_Ingalls @MaryIngalls_ I'll be done too! Soon as Mary finishes hemmin' 'em edges. (Beaming) Pa's gonna think I sew real pretty!

[Carrie Ingalls *TH* @Carrie_Ingalls]

@MaryIngalls_ @Laura_E_Ingalls That looks real pretty, Mary. Pa's really gonna like blowin' his nose in it!

[Carrie Ingalls *TH* @Carrie_Ingalls]

@MaryIngalls_ Don't she look so cute in that calico dress, Mary? (Laughing) She looks like @Laura_E_Ingalls with that braided yarn hair.

[Carrie Ingalls *TH* @Carrie_Ingalls]

@Mrs_Ingalls @Laura_E_Ingalls If'n I do that, do you 'spose that I could keep this dolly?

[Carrie Ingalls *TH* @Carrie_Ingalls]

@Laura_E_Ingalls (Handing Laura the handkerchief from the boot) Here you, go! It ain't soft no longer now that its not next to my toes.

[Carrie Ingalls *TH* @Carrie_Ingalls]

@Laura_E_Ingalls That ain't so, Laura! I got your licorice right here. (Runs over to her black polished boots, and digs something out of it)
