The Rhythm of Our Days

miscellaneous

Sunshine came in and for some reason Dad fussed at her about something, making her shout, "Please don't get so distressed with me!"

Ahem. She's 8. Sometimes she definitely doesn't sound like it!

Firstborn had a close call today. While playing with a friend the safety was off their airsoft gun and his friend accidentally shot him in the eye. Thank God he shut it in time and it grazed the outer eye lid. It's blood shot and swollen and tender but he can see alright and it seems he'll be fine. It was so close! Both boys seem to have finally learned this lesson that until now, they hadn't taken very seriously.

Airsoft Guns - Be Careful

Bren and his buddies play with airsoft guns. Just after he got his first one, I walked into the garage and was met with gunfire. Bren was standing in the driveway (at least fifteen feet away) and hit me one time on the arm. For TWO WEEKS I had a welt. Those guns are great fun for the boys - but they should recognize how dangerous they can be. They sell face masks at WalMart for about $8 (which we purchased immediately). After being hit, I'm convinced they could blind someone easily.

I had to smile a little

and start singing "you'll shoot your eye out, you'll shoot your eye out." I am very relieved that it was a lesson learned without serious damage. I just can't get the image of Ralphie and his Red Ridder BB gun with a compass in the stock out of my head. I am really glad he is ok!

Description
Labels 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.
