almost a year since i started this

and really it is the first time in awhile that i even felt like typing it out again. i was like "what's the point?" jamie is off somewhere (filling the woodbox i hope) and lucien is up past his bedtime playing with asher in the studio. i promised him he could stay up past his bedtime if he played well with his brother. maybe a mistake considering he has Farmhouse in the morning. Farmhouse is an unschool school that lucien goes to two days a week. i feel like it is like a little bit of guilt free baby sitting for us homeschooling types. i guess i stayed away from doing any sort of blog activities for for so long cause i was thinking what was the point. well, now i think i have come up with a point, or at least an excuse. i want to document more of luciens learning but in a how it relates to everything going on in our lives way. the stuff i write down documenting our learning for his "school" is just too impersonal. i think when i look back those updates i wont remember that we went to the beach that day cause i was cranky or jamie had some time off and that's why we spent so much time skiing and snowboarding instead of bookwork and so on. to give me a more rounded and indepth detailing of why we did what we did. so today, wednesday, is veggie day. it is the day a huge lot of veggies show up at my house and i put them into bins for my customers and deliver them. basically all the learning that happens on these days comes from a video and occasionally i can convince lucien it is a good idea to help me. asher mostly sleeps and screams on wednesdays. today i woke lucien with an apple pie (suprise leftover from thanksgiving found in the oven) and eggs benny. we had a good day!
