What a great weekend we had! Most of it was pretty low key, lots of hanging out together. It was great. We went to a hockey game on Sunday night, Tyler and I did. We had a great time. The girls and Oliver stayed home with dad and watched a movie together and had some down time together. They loved it. We had a great time at the hockey game. Tyler spent most of it banging on these two blown up tubes of air. He was trying to figure out why it was making the sound it was. He also then was trying to figuring out the difference between the two teams shots on net (math) and estimating how many people were there (math). So for a hockey game, there was alot covered. He also made change and figured out the difference between something that was 5.25 and something that was 4.00. On friday we went to Airzone with some fellow homeschoolers. We had a great time. The kids loved it! There werent alot of people there, so it was nice and intimate. I got to talk to some other moms and discuss unschooling, which I ALWAYS love to do. Tyler figured out how much money Airzone had made at the time we were there. He estimated how many people were there and then multiplied it by the cost to get in. It was pretty cool to watch him figure it out. He wanted to figure it out to see if the price they were charging was a fair price. Pretty cool. Oliver went into the jumping castle for the first time! He had so much fun! I wish we had a digital camera so I could share that with you. It was great! I just love living this way, its so peaceful and pure. Its so real. I mean in a forced learning atmosphere a child would spend days and days on making change. My son did it in an afternoon with no forced feelings and becuase he wanted to..that to me is amazing. Saturday was a lounge day, we just sort of chilled around the house. We made a special meal togher though and ate it by candlelight. It was nice, we dont do that enoough. Sunday we went to church in the morning and then came home and some more of the chilling *smiles*. Yesterday was a busy day. Tyler spent most of it over at his friends house becuase all the school kids were home. The buses were cancelled. He also came down from his room in the am , and announced he had figured out why the tubes from the hockey game made that sound when you banged them together. It was because the sound waves were vibrating. Then we all discussed vibrations and how they worked and how the voice box worked on vibrations as well. It was awesome to see his face glow whne he came running down the stairs! He had figured it out!
Tyler also right now is reading James and the giant peach. He loves it and reccomends it highly.

I LOVE MY LIFE.
