Daily LogIt was so wonderful to have a big plate of steamy buttermilk pancakes this morning, little rivers of butter and syrup soaking around the sausage links. We cleared the table for the first time all week and sat and luxuriated in a quiet morning meal. I'll be soooo glad when this move is over!Most of the conversation dealt with paralysis and the different methods of capital punishment through history. Gross. I made 'em quit before I sat down to eat. :-P They all pitched in together and combed over the back yard, gathering all the outside stuff into one place so next weekend when we load it will be ready. And they did such a fantastic job that Dad took them swimming! He did something different with Firstborn today: set him up as "Group Leader" and taught him how to manage his crew. In typical fashion Firstborn stepped right up and they didn't bicker at all the whole time! When they get home from the pool they'll learn a nastier part of keeping animals. The Finches have been killing their young. We suspected it this morning when one was dead in the bottom of the cage but I confirmed it this afternoon when I caught one of the adults pecking at another in a corner. It's barely surviving. I have it in a box; wasn't sure what else to do. 5:41 PM - Jun. 17, 2006 - post comment

DescriptionLabels don't fit. Not 'homeschooler", not "unschooler" not "classical educator". We are a family. We learn, we play, we read, we fight, we laugh, we struggle, and we discover together. We shun the calendar and packaged curriculum. You won't find a "teacher's guide" with a schedule making me it's slave within these walls. What you will find is a group of people, sometimes rough around the edges, digging in the dirt to grow things, reading books to expand our minds, paint up to our elbows, chickens in the yard, something simmering on the stove, and maybe tea on the front porch....this is a record of The Rhythm of Our Days. Living, Learning, Laughing, and Loving.
