This is what I absolutely love about homeschooling. I was upstairs in my bedroom recuperating from childbirth whilst Ben was outside, unprompted, leading all the small ones in some adventure - complete with costumes, plot line and character assignments. I don't know what I love more about this - that Ben can lead them all into a creative adventure, or that they are all willing to follow. It is not unusual for me to abandon the formal school day to some plot that has developed when I turned my back for a moment.

Keep turning your back...it is inspirational what can actually happen when we look away for an instant! Thanks for the reminder!
Love that they do plays and things...mine do that, too, sometimes. When they aren't trying to kill each other. Happy Birthday to Ben!
