Today was the first day of school...

The school bus drove past our house this morning. I cannot tell you all how happy and comfortable I am not puting Paige on that bus! I am not one of those sad, crying moms on the first day of school but instead a happy mom who gets to enjoy her sweet, smart, funny, curious and creative girl at home. If you didn't know, we have decided to homeschool the children- to be more exact- we decided to "unschool" them. We don't have a curriculum and don't sit down every day at particular times and play school. We learn all the time, following the interests of our children. Today Paige wrote a list of fruits that she wanted from the market, shopped and found the best prices, made up a dance with her own funny music, crafted with paper, crayons and scissors and is now quietly watching, "Charlotte's Web." Later on, after Jack wakes up from his nap, I am sure we will all go outside and enjoy the beautiful September afternoon sunshine. This is the life!
