Mom, I'm FAMOUS! Kind of.
The subject line = the words my kid used to describe the fact that a field trip he went on made the papers. His picture is not in the online article (and we don't know any of the children in the picture, nor do we know the children mentioned), but we're going to look at the print version just in case. ;)
Our homeschooling group has a "Tea and Knitting Girl's Club" which is a really cute idea, but our group is also about 60% boys. So I am considering putting together a boys' club, possibly fishing? But then the little girls who enjoy fishing might feel left out. While I think it's hard to argue that a "tea and knitting club" is NOT inherently girly, and would disinterest every little boy I have ever met, I can't think of a comparable activity that is equally as inherently boyish. Woodworking? Maybe one of the Home Depot Kids Workshops, though that would require finding a Home Depot that is easily accessible by everyone. I really like the idea of the boys getting together for outdoorsy things like fishing and kayaking and canoeing - that is available at many local parks. Maybe an indoor "camp-out" at someone's house once in a while, too. Anyone have any suggestions?

Dec. 15, 2006 - Boy's Club
How to go about doing this, I'm not sure. I'm still trying to find a good homeschool support group. I would suggest taking an informal (or maybe formal) survey from parents/others in your group to see what their boys would be interested in doing, praying about it, and then doing what the Spirit leads you to do.
