Fabulous 50's Band

Today I took Mady and the boys to ride horses with a friend while Niki played @ Nenaw's house. Everyone had a good time. The boys were able to explore a new place while Mady rode the horse, and everyone knows it is always fun @ Nenaw's! Mady and her friend had so much fun they decided they didn't want it to end & have moved the party to our house tonight.

Tonight was also 3rd Friday so we went to watch the Fabulous 50's Band play @ the 21st Century Club here in town. The girls like to dance while the band plays. This was a special event though since it was a benefit to help a fellow musician with some unforeseen life changing events. The building was packed front to back and the band put on a performance worthy of a small town newspaper review! They collected a good deal of money for the family and everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves.

Tomorrow the we will be preparing my moms lasagna recipe for her birthday dinner on Sunday while the girls go to the circus with Pam. To top off the day all the girls in the family are going to meet our Aunt Heidi for the first time! Then Mady has requested that I drop her off @ her friends house after all that! Isn't life sweet? I know, the last few posts I have been sniveling about problems posting pictures to the web, man if that is all I have to worry about, life is grand!


I suppose it is high time I posted some of the research I have read about unschooling so anyone reading this blog doesn't think I am completely off my rocker! I will gather up some while I wait for one of the boys to tire of watching me type and post it tomorrow...if I find the time! I feel so fortunate to have such a close family who are interested in celebrating life together.

I also need to post some of Mady's art work. I want to gather up several pieces and show her progress. I always thought art was a natural talent, but apparently if you like to draw enough and are willing to learn technique, anyone can draw and move on to create their own pieces. She is truly loving her art class. I hope she will continue to follow her passions all her life. On to the research!
