And here is the before shot...

Penelope is also getting a green thumb. There is a lady here that owns a yurt and holds workshops and play days for kiddos in the neighborhood and Thursday I took Penelope to the Worms and Seeds workshop. This was her very first time visiting the yurt so we were both a little nervous not knowing what to expect but as soon as we walked in Penelope's nerves quickly vanished. The inside of this yurt is a kids dream. It looks like a mini circus! With mats all over the floor, a trapeze and bars to swing on, a balance beam, tightrope and more. If you ask Penelope what she wants to be when she grows up right now her answer is a mommy, a nurse, and a tightrope walker. Tightrope walker? I don't know where she got this from but in any event she was absolutely delighted when she saw the inside of the yurt. Although she did get to play around with all the fun equipment for a short while she was there for the Worms and Seeds workshop so the majority of her time was spent digging for worms and creating planters out of toilet paper rolls to plant seeds in.
