Aiden decided we should write the story of our days as unschoolers, so I'm going to start with today. The boys had a very nice day of imaginary play, a few arguments that they quickly ended on their own, and lots of running, bouncing, and laughing. They had spaghetti for breakfast. No sauce, just pasta. We played "tickle monster". That's were I pretend to be a robot that tickles if the boys get too close to me on my bed. They love that game. We always get huge giggly moments from tickle monster. Keeley wanted to do a few "poofs" (that's where I fluff up my comforter so there's a HUGE air bubble trapped underneath and he jumps into it with a huge "HA!" I was able to get a few loads of laundry done while they played a Wii game together. Aiden and Keeley ran around in the back yard after dinner catching lightning bugs. It reminded me of when Ton and Roland were living with us for a few days on their way back to their homelands and they had never in their LIVES seen a lightning bug. My boys were THRILLED they were able to catch them and put them in a little jar. We looked at them for a few minutes and then Aiden counted them as they flew out of the mouth of the jar. There were 21! Keeley switched to big boy underpants today for the first time! He'll practice again tomorrow. Quite a day. I LOVE UNSCHOOLING!
