Hunting

We've been playing a lot of Laura Ingalls Wilder again lately. Elizabeth is usually Mary now, because she has blond hair and she's older, and Amelie has to be Laura. (Poor baby is never going to learn her name, with her big sister constantly yelling the wrong name in her face!)

Anyway, Elizabeth went out hunting (using a rolled-up yoga mat for a gun - she definitely gets this from Isaac, not me). She came back having caught a moose! She explained, "Mooses are good for eating. Mooses are like ham."

Then she went out hunting another time, and returned, saying she caught "lots of ama-mals: a moose and a deer and a wildcat." She asked, "Do you think you can manage that for Christmas dinner?" Hmm. I've never cooked a wildcat before!
