Looks like everyone is having Fun and that Jake got up ok. (So did Tom!) I had to laugh on the way home thinking of you saying "Jake you know you have to get up for circus tomorrow" I mean, where else are you ever going to hear THAT? ***Don't be fooled-he also hears "Get up and take the dog out!", too!!

Already I've been inspired to do some things...my daughter got a magician's apprentice type book and wanted a robe like the characters in the book...guess who will be attempting to sew a basic robe and then letting her decorating by gluing things on it? ME!LOL Ok...off to "strategically" place some things! ***Oh, I love to strew!! Go right ahead and borrow away. Good luck with your sewing.

I find the unschooling trend interesting and I think if I had more than one child, I might give it a go. There is certainly a lot to be learned out and about and the field trips could be endless. When I mentioned to friends, that I would have no problem taking my child out of school to travel around Europe, they were appalled. I wonder why? Thanks for the teaching inspiration and I will continue to teach where I think schooling fails. ***Traveling around Europe would be a wonderful experience! Hands on learning is so much better-you could read about anyplace but to actually physically be there and experience it first hand would stay with you for a life time.
