We started out this morning heading to a doctor’s appointment for me, followed by the Aquarium. We basically had the place to ourselves!
Playfront next. Sully maneuvering the wiggly caterpillar.
“Mom, catch meeeeeee!”
“I no big enough. Help meee!”
Gluten free at Subway!
Ice skating was next— Kiera is getting so confident and using up every minute of her 60 minute lesson. We invited over some friends after for art and smoothie time.
A beautiful day was had by all!
Everyday is a day for love- but today especially! We had a great gathering of homeschoolers. The day was filled with love, yummies, laughter, circle time, Valentines, and living:)
Craziness at the Cabin. Laughter and squeals of delight! I think they were lions and wolves.
Sandwiched in between two cool mamas, Sully doing his Shima (love) chant.
A great big opening OMmmmmmmm!!!!!! Circle Time.
Kiera sending light and love all around the world.
We love you kiddos, We love you kiddos, We love you kiddos so much, Shima, Shima!
Sully admiring his Valentines.
Back at home— Sully’s pizza. According to Sully it was “the best ’tistmas ever ever!” Sully was convinced that this Valentines Day was the best Christmas ever ever:)
A blast from my childhood past!
Learning and living on the path together!
It is the middle of February and there is hardly any snow. WHAT?!?! It is darn right eerie and I don’t like it one bit!
Kiera is practicing her letters and numbers. We are taking it slow and following her lead.
She is also quite keen on having Martin brush her hair nightly.
A taste of the rainbow.
Prepping cards for Grandma Lori’s 56th birthday.
Sully is on a french fry kick. Martin made these ones the night prior. I think we will be planting a lot of potatoes this spring!
Katy, Sami, and I— a quick bite to eat at Old Chicago at the beginning of the semester.
Great Grandma Ruth (88) and Grandpa Warren (89) at their place of residence in Eden Prairie.
Great Aunt Nancy
Documents I came up with while researching my heritage for my multicultural class.
Grandma Lori’s birthday weekend.
Birthday breakfast!
The pizza tradition continues.
Ice skating and ice skating and MORE ice skating! Ella and Kiera.
Sully pre hair cut.
Half way done.
Admiring the fine Adeline work.
Our buddies T and Morley. They are awesome!
Well, this is really how it goes…! 
Bummer. Super soft enamel + a two year old = dental reconstruction (capped teeth) + general anesthesia = grateful for health insurance.
My new kick— homemade granola (or granilla as Sully calls it).
Playtime with church friend Anna.
Proud of Valentine gifts from Grandma Lori.
Sleepover time with Ella!
Sully was taking pictures of me while he was on the toilet “waiting” (A.K.A. stalling for bed).
It is Valentine’s Day tomorrow. Homeschool gathering out of Janette Pollay Girl Scout Camp followed by Kiera’s yoga class and heart shaped pizza, jello, and rice krispy bars! It will be a day filled with extra special loving!
Kiera totally stoked to be going back to ice skating lessons after a little break.
A boy and his beloved hummus:)
Heading to the Wizard of Oz at Marshall school. Kiera liked Dorothy and Sully liked Toto and the TinMan.
We homeschool, or unschool, or free learn, or whatever you want to call it. Think we sit home all day? Not exactly. Here is a summation of the last few days.
Sully “doing” gym class. Tossing balls and bean bags into the bucket.
Kiera spending a few minutes on a workbook she got for Christmas. Not my favorite activity for her to do, but that morning she was having a great time perusing pages and picking a few to do.
Helping make (and consume) Mama’s kombucha.
Homeschool rollerskating!
Sully “playing” the arcade games.
The Depot- On the Wedge Snowplow.
The Children’s Museum
Taking down the Christmas tree
Date time with Mama. He chose to stay home in his jammies and eat “ipe beam”, watch his “bobot” movie, and play trains.
It was a super sweet day!
Kiera had a date with Papa. Zinema for Kung Fu Panda and brunch at Zeitgeist
The zoo— digging watching the lemurs.
Dress up time with friends.
Other things we missed taking pictures off- Unity storytelling, grocery shopping, Kiera’s yoga class, Unitarian religious education, lunch with Grandpa, books about Martin Luther King, Jr., and home art time… Sure, we “just stay home”. This graphic (from Facebook page Free Your Kids) made me giggle. People always say, “We can’t homeschool because my kids need more socialization”. I usually just smirk:)
