We are unschooling…..
SWIMMING.
That’s right - no lessons. Swimming via the sink or swim methods…..
And the results?
Amazing!
Both Allison and Meredith have had probably about 6 months worth of swim lessons back in CO..Allison could swim, sorta, and Meredith could also swim sorta, but had a problem with sinking. Meredith was a pro at swimming underwater [...]

Feeding the girls…..
Published in May 26th, 2006

I can’t believe I almost forgot to post this. Tonight Eric picked up Wendy’s for dinner. Meredith’s kid’s meal came with a bacon cheeseburger rather than a plain one, so it had tomatoes and lettuce and mayo on it. She took off the tomatoes and lettuce but didn’t know what to do about the mayo. [...]

Not the best parenting move ever….but funny. The other day I had fixed the kids lunch, and was cleaning the kitchen a bit while they ate. One of them asked me for a spoon. I teasingly said, “I”m not your slave, get it yourself!” - to which Allison asked what a slave was. I responded [...]

Last night Diesel the Dog wanted outside. I let him out where he bounded about the yard in obvious doggy-bliss. The weather was lovely, and I smiled as he bounced around [...]

Published in May 8th, 2006
My baby turned seven yesterday! SEVEN! That seems so OLD….just a big kid age.
We had a lovely day, we woke up, Daddy fixed the girls pancakes, then we opened presents and next we had softball practice. After that we picked up Jess and went to Paradise Park for an afternoon of (expensive) fun. Everyone had [...]
