Walnuts on My Windshield
We're a wild and wacky faimly of six; the "big three" arrived in the conventional manner and our youngest was adopted trans-racially. My husband is self-employed, which helps fund his ministry habit. We learn year round, delaying academics and focusing on character and chores in the younger years. As the children grow, they gradually pass down chores and do more formal academics.

What I've Learned Today

Some people are simply messed up. They cannot be helped, because they don't want any help.

Let it be known that I did 3 days' worth of math, two days' worth of Spanish, and one day of Sonlight tome reading, plus two Sonlight writing assignments. So I wasn't just laying around and reading all day!
