Last year, Kristen’s daughter made me this Pickle Rick out of modeling clay. This year, he gets to hide in our tree for a couple weeks.
A Very Special Christmas Pickle Rick
Christmas Helpers
Ten years ago, we couldn’t keep Isaac off the ladder as Westen helped Mary place the star on our tree.
Today, these boys grabbed the tree out of the van and placed it without waiting for me.
Hard to Watch
I’ve been out of training for a full week and it’s not fun to sit and watch my son on the mat without me. I have a nagging cough from a bout with the flu, but I’ll be back to soccer tomorrow and jiu-itsu soon enough.

I started listening to this book today in an effort to live in harmony with my biology.
Slow Down and Heal
The flu sucks, but it has forced me to slow down and enjoy Argentina versus Croatia in World Cup play and this healing homemade soup from Kristen.

Home Education Flashback 2014
To the evening my five-year-old learned how to build a fire at Ashland Nature Center. The program was suppose to be outside, but light rain pushed us into their very cozy lodge.
Look at the pride on his little face.
Highs and Low
I crashed from soccer, home education, and jiu-jitsu highs this week.
I’ve got honest self-reflection to ponder and a lot of spiritual, psychological, and physical rebuilding to accomplish.
Another Favorite Day
We restarted and rebranded our Lego Unschool Club today.
Although I offered a variety of Harry Potter sets to explore, unschool principles reign and everyone persued their own interests.
My elder son continued work on his latest stop motion film for his YouTube channel: Z-Boys Creations.
A mother and daughter team tackled one of the older Hogwarts sets.
A young man brought The Lego Christmas Ornaments Book to create a Santa decoration.
One family with younger boys enjoyed our collections of Duplo, comics, and magnetic poetry. And some of the boys went for a walk after their building.
I feel extremely blessed to be able to share the resources that have filled our learning lifestyle. New and familiar faces joined us and I hope to maintain our home as a gathering place for home educating families.
