What a great couple of days it has been! It was an incrediable weekend and though the week has only started an amazing one at that. So many cool things are going on!

Saturday
We ended up at the zoo with some friends , it was the best time. The kids had a hoot and becuase our friends do not have a membership we saw more of the zoo at one time then we have in awhile. Usually we go to watch one thing becuase we can always come back the next day if we realyl wanted to. The kids had a great time. We spent more time at the Mandrills and the naked mole rats. That is the childrens favorite place.

Sunday
The children went with their Grandmother to Suessical the Musical. The kids loved it. Heather, Oliver and I went to a Beltaine celebration that was SO incrediably amazing. Tyler, Ashleigh and Graham met up with us after the musical. We did a maypole dance, made head wreaths, drummed, made fire, danced, sang, skinny dipped in a stream, rolled in mud, watched fish, had ritual, met new friends, soaked in the rays of the sun and just had an awesome amazing time (pictures to follow at a later post I hope).

This week has been filled with music, reading, gardening , baking, making , and just hanging out in the sun. Ashleigh has been working hard on her Grade one math book she got, she loves working through it and Tyler spent alot of time today reading. We have been having discussions about seasons, moon phases, gardening and TONS of other neat things. Tyler and his friend have done the lemon-aid stand for two days and made 13 dollars! Tyler turned his 5 bucks into that!
Amazing really.
Graham and I have been doing alot of reading about unschooling and everytime I start to feel like I want to urge something onto one of my children, I go back and read an article or essay on unschooling or read through the unschooling threads on google. I just really want my kids to live. I want them not to worry about anything right now. I want them to soak in the joy that is life.
We are so excited about about the Toronto Unschooling conference that is happening this weekend. Heather is going to papa's and grandma's so that Graham and I can totally listen to the presenters. It will be good for everyone, becuase I really dont think that heather would want to sit and listen.
alas its late , I shall sign off.
What an amazing journey this is...
in peace.
