Sponge Bob's House

Colt carries this around the house calling it "Sponge Bob's house." I tried explaining to him that it's a mathematically impossibility that Sponge Bob's house is a real pineapple because a TRUE pineapple would have Fibonacci spirals and Sponge Bob's house does not. Just like I tried to explain to him last month that Sponge Bob is not actually square. He seems completely disinterested in my rants. Maybe once he turns three he will get it. LOL!

Not All Who Wander, Are Lost

Some people think this quote is about perception, that just because someone looks aimless they may still be on a journey. But I like to think of it as meaning "wandering IS the journey" -- a kind of, stop-and-smell-the-roses type quote. I think we have to be as intentional about "wandering" as we do about striving. If we never "wander" we will not appreciate all the beauty around us! As unschoolers, we may appear to others as wanderers with no mission in life, but sometimes wandering is the mission.

Homeschool Pride Day @ Louisville Zoo

Big thank you to the Louisville Zoo for hosting a "Homeschool Pride Day" once a month!! This month we learned about animals that live underground. The boys got to play with a three ring armadillo and it was soooo stinkin' cute!!


Day 32 - Lord of the RINGS

Sharpshooter loves gymnastics. Rings are his favorite. Here is a short video from last week's practice! 


Day 30 - Contracts

I may need to help her on her negotiation skills a bit, but nonetheless, I like her style. (And yes, she forced her Dad into signing this.) Can't stop laughing! Guess it pays being the only girl in the house. =)


Painting Fun!

My little Renaissance man made me a Valentines gift today. (Too bad when he gave it to me he said it was "so ugly he was going to slash it with a knife when he gets home." How sweet.)
